come on, Simon - no need to be overly politically or technically correct here. my response was to someone posting to this list with Outlook asking a question for a window only environment, trying to send a notification via some proprietary service using an *email* message sent from mutt (or whatever mailer). do you really think they *care* about technical explanations? exactly. "can you misuse mutt for that?" "NO!" end of story. this ain't the Red fscking Cross here, right?
