That's true. Though I've never been into kinky.

I see what you are saying. Tell me, in mutt can I have several (5-6)
compose messages open and switch between them and the main window that
I'm copying / pasting from? Also, will mutt remember that when I write
to xyz@hisServer.com I need the From address to be xyz@myServer.com,
and when I write to abc@anotherServer.com I need the From address to
be abc@myServer.com? Those two features are necessary to my workwflow,
and so far as I understand only GUI mail clients perform the former,
while only Thunderbird (with an extension) can perform the latter.
Thanks.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
