I find it ironic that you talk about usability in an email which is top
posted. Its only due to the fact that mutt does threading tht I don't

Yes, thats great, if you dad wants to make xmas cards, give him a mac.
Personally I am a sysadmin who has work todo, I use debian. I don't want
an integrated desktop environment. I want a system that works.

A.R.S.E, as previously mentioned.
