I've used the lynx/tin/pine tandem in Linux for a couple years when I
was stuck with a Diamond card before Xfree86 supported it, and I noticed
that when sorting through my mail, I sometimes missed jpeg attachments
and discarded messages before seeing the attachments. Since I use
Netscape anyway for browsing, using the mailer isn't a leap. At least it
doesn't core dump every five minutes like the browser. It's only a mail
program.

Elitism by X-mailer headings. I never thought of that one. I never
thought I'd have to resort to Pine again to get any respect :-)
By the way, I'm been on many mailing list and this is the only one that
I have to correct the address for. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm probably old enough to be your parent. [profanity deleted]
