Offsite meeting tomorrow, might be a bit late but I should be there.

Thunderbird. Nice interface. I miss the 'reply to list' option present 
in Evolution. Getting spell check working took some effort but it's easy 
now I know how.
Spam filtering is non-configurable (apart from on or off) and isn't 
working as well as I'd like. (Why do spammers think I'll buy that pill, 
you know the one, just because they spell everything wrong except for 
the particular passage from the hobbit they choose to include with the 
spam.)

Moved from evolution a while ago because the integrated spamassassin 
wasn't doing a great job. Might swap back and use spamassassin as an 
external filter so I can get more control over it, i.e. make use of 
Evo's 'pipe message into shell function' feature. I used to run it this 
way before Fedora integrated the two and made it harder to configure, 
train on ham/spam etc. Or it might be that quoting from the hobbit is 
going to get through anyway. Hard to know unless I try.

No I don't and yes I do, respectively. Not that a firewall is 
necessarily relevant in this situation.


Unless you count a spam filter as a form of data firewall?

Well.... do you?
