Gene Heskett sends Greetings to D. Parsons;

>>OE is Evil?????

Why do you think half the world calls it Internet Exploder?  It may be
capable, but its a typical M$ product, with little or no docs to tell
the real users how to make it do its thing *properly*.  End result?  Its
screwed up 50% of the time.

'scuse me?  Those 2 pieces of 'superior' email/news software are:

Amiga's THOR
Pc's Eudora

I don't run windoze, just ados and linux.  I've dl'd about everything
for linux there is, and linux doesn't have anything that can play on the
same field in the same week as THOR.  I'd cheerfully pay 50+ bucks for a
linux version of either.

Cheers, Gene
