[sclug] RUG 6 May 03 notes

[Leon Ward]

I think MUA choice is all down to personal preference.
Kmail / Mozilla / Evolution / mutt / pine / whatever

There are 100's of good ones out there, lets not get into "X is better coz
it just is" flame war.

The talk maybe interesting, especially if it could touch on the idea of
rolling out a desktop to many corporate users.

BTW / Does Konq use gecko or its own rendering engine?
