Why would I do that when I don't use or like Gnus?

I said I know how to configure it, Not how to patch it....

Can you demonstrate a single instance of *ANY* OE propogated virus that
originated from me?  I don't think so.  I think that demonstrates my clue in
configuring OE.

So do I.  I run a qmail cluster for a nationwide DSL provider.

Have *I* ever sent you gigabytes of infected files?  I don't think so.
Don't paint me with that brush.  I'm sure I've gotten just as much as you.

So am I.  But that doesn't change the fact that OE gives me the combination
of features *I* want.  Yes, I'm used Pine, Elm, Mutt, Gnus and a whole slew
of other mua's.  And every time, I come back to OE because it gives me what
I want, and works the way I want.

I guess for people like Robin we'll need RSP for Rectal Cranium
Inversion....
