One day, email clients will not take up 20+ MB of diskspace, will not be
intimately tied to your platform and will allow you to disable scripting
languages so you can't hose 'em (and their host OS!) beyond repair, and will
not flood users with 'features' they don't need.  One day, we will all be
free from the tyranny of the animated paperclip.

I can't believe they call this stuff 'enterprise-ready'.  But you folks know
that already, or this list wouldn't be here.(o:

I don't want a 52k mass of hubris. Is there some reason why you sent a
microsoft specific document/script/virus to a Linux mailing list?
Heh. It just occured to me that your mailer is outlook. (Flame the
"technology", not the user...)
