And its preventing you from seeing the unsubscribe instructions
appended to every message comeing through these servers.  You choice if
you want to look like you just got off the bus.

I looked at Thunderbird because a friend was raving about it.  It
didn't impress me, but then I'm used to kmail from kde 3.3.0.  Html
doodads are nothing but a PITA that quadruples the size of the message,
email should be pure text.  TBird makes that difficult IMO.  It's
pretty, yes, but its usability to me is a -1.

And you cannot count either.  I could get rid of the Openoffice blurb,
but the rest stays, its been there for years and you are the first to
complain in about 7 years now...
