A perfect exmple of why one man's meat is another's poison. I personally
use filters for everything that I do on a regular basis, so anything that
shows up in the inbox stands out like a sore thumb. As another said,
ain't Linux great that way!
Sylpheed under XFCE is blazingly fast - about 8-10 seconds from startup to
reading my mail.
So there!! Bliss!! :)
