Chris, I use Outlook as my MUA of choice. It's not about eye candy, it's not sub-standard. While outlook does have it's limitations, I can live with those. What I can't live with, are the limitations I've found in pine, elm, and mutt (to name 3 of the Unix MUAs that I've used). With a combination of procmail and imap, Outlook serves every need I have. Personally, I'm waiting for evolution to get stable, at which time, I'll give great consideration to switching my desktop enviornment to X (assuming there's a reasonable browser for X by then). Back to Outlook. Setting the default format to plain text is simple enough, but has absolutely nothing to do with those headers. I have similar headers in every message I send, and I've never had one complaint about the format of my messages sent to this, or any other list. If those headers bother you, perhaps you should fix your MUA. Any header prefixed with a X- is /experimental/ and should be ignored by any MUA that doesn't understand what that header is. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Fedde ** Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2000 12:31 AM ** To: James Lim ** Cc: Justin Booth; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** Subject: Gentle request...
