Folks,

Shush. This is yet another stupid thread born out of too much free time
and a whining resentment about having to install a port on every machine
one sets up.

We've had this with shells, pagers, MTA's and who knows what else and
the outcome is always the same. Save us all the hard-on and customize
your own source tree as you see fit.

Here's the crux in 2 lines, people:

***************
We'll never have the majority of folk using the base mail reader, but we
do need _something_. So let's keep it simple and ubiquitous.
***************

Think before you reply. Shush if you have nothing new and useful to add.

Ciao,
Sheldon (EgoBSD-hater).
