In some worlds, users don't control their desktop. They are required to use the "officially sanctioned" tools, and things like Microsoft SMS are used to inforce the rule. Installation of unapproved software is grounds for termination. So, such a person would be required to build a machine at home, and get an account with an ISP in order to do e-mail in the FreeBSD-list approved manner. Just might not be an option. On the other hand, I can't see a reason for the list to change its methods to accomodate such poor, lost souls either. -crl -- Chad R.
