that requires 'allow-user-xsession' to be set in /etc/X11/Xsession.options,
otherwise your .xsession won't be executed.

add a regular shellscript named
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/<some-two-digit-number>custom_<somedescription>
that sets the environment the way you want. That should be run for any full

See 'Customizing the startup procedure' in 'man xsession' for details

2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
