Too bad the whole world doesn't use your mail reader. The whole world
should be forced to use the same mail reader, and the same office suit
and web browser while we're at it. On the same OS. Oh, wait, Microsoft
_is_ trying to accomplish that.
Also, your mail was _middle_posted_ and quoted every message before it
in full. You really are aiming for the worse of all worlds, aren't
you?
