[Wylug-discuss] Mail Clients

[Nigel Metheringham]

I've just knocked up a script to identify mail client used and let it
loose on around 6-8 months of wylug archives.  Here are my results:-

        Total                      954       154


which shows that the KMail people are particularly prolific (although
the one slrn user really shows what prolific means....).  Shame about
Outlook.
