Am i in this segment yet or do i need to try harder?

If you killfile OE users and HTML email then your spam count will drop
by a fair bit even with spam assassin running. And you'll get less
rubbish from people infected with SirCam.

Although the downside is, of course, that you'll no longer be able to
read most of my posts so think it through long and hard before doing the
implementation. If that didn't sell it to you nothing will!

I hadn't noticed, you were such a sweet boy in person! :)

It might just be me but telling people how stupid they
are isn't really something that encourages them to heed
your advice.

Taking another approach how about we put something on the gllug page or
the signup page for the list that recommends something crossplatform
like thunderbird/moz mail? You could do a little segment on its benefits
over outlook. Showing people a better option couldn't hurt and its IMHO
more encouraging than having a dig.

Although you'll pry my OE out of my cold dead hands :P
