Enough people who this community respects enough not to disrupt?

Running FreeBSD on the desktop is only possible because of the work done b=
y those who didn't, or don't primarily=2E

Long after first running X, KDE and the likes of Thunderbird (which _can_ =
be tuned to be friendly to text-only mailers), I still used pine, later alp=
ine to follow a dozen FreeBSD (and other) lists=2E

For an HTML view, I suggest paying good attention to the wisdom of Polytro=
pon:
