My, aren't we judgemental? *grin*

I have an RHL 9 server at home, and an FC1 test box as well.  I'm learning
FC and trying to share what I learn with those who are just beginning.
However, at work I have to use Outlook Express 5.  I'm not allowed to use
linux on my desktop, nor am I allowed to install Mozilla or any other mail
client.  I do not wish to use a web client.  I have imaps and smtp/tls set
up and working.  (BTW, when I was trying to figure out what email client to
use at home for my wife's computer, OE was the only windows client I found
that would support imaps, smtp/tls and smtp/auth, all at the same time,
which is how my server is set up.)

I'm sure that I'm not the only person on this list who doesn't appreciate
the "do things the way I do them, or get the hell off of this list" message
that you sent, intentionally or not.  One of the nice things about open
source is that, like PERL, "there's more than one way to do it".  Don't ever
forget that not everybody shares your needs or desires.
