Especially some of the "classic" early versions.  I just _love_ how
they're so integrated into a package designed for Professionals(tm).

M$ has managed to equate being a "professional" with being "too busy to
learn how things actually work" when in the not-so-distant past being 
a professional meant knowing how things actually work.

Now it should be quite obvious that Mutt is the preferred email
client since it allows you to choose the editor, URL viewer, MDA, and
MTA.  It also lets you manage the email headers.

Kmail is a good step away from Outlook/OE but it's not the last step
because you're still caught in the land of homogenized integration.
Where you want to be is in the land of configurable diversity where
people with functioning brains can thrive and resist the numbing
effects of aging, reality-TV and professional sports.

average man in India or China. -- dailyreckoning.com
