Right you are!

I don't remember.  I tend to get .msg files once a year and this was a 
year ago.  My one Ubuntu installation is on a failing notebook so I was 
revisiting.

I found that the debian / ubuntu package can be installed via apt on 
a ChomeOS Linux subsystem "Crostini".

I strongly prefer software from my distro's repos.  That makes updates and 
upgrades a lot smoother.  I mostly avoid using CPAN and PyPI directly; 
this would be a mistake if I programmed in perl or python (Rust has the 
same problem).
