I use Mozilla 1.4.1 which, if both it -and- the mailman server are
optioned properly, works just fine. I don't use either Evolution -OR-
any Microsoft mail reader for anything -- much less a Linux-oriented
mailing list -- but I'm gonna take this opportunity to make a statement:
It's a sick world in which one of the most prolific contributers to this
list gets challenged by anyone who uses a Microsoft product. It seems to
me that the readers of this list should be willing to learn Sanskrit or
Ancient Hebrew if either of those happens to be the language preference
of the guru-contributers and it would be interesting to know who had the
balls to bitch about GPG signatures.
There! That was cathartic.
