I didn't say Outlook Express is evil. All I am saying is that most of the
time I use PINE to read e-mail and its very hard to read HTML mail. [Okay,
it possible to export it to a file, load it up in LYNX but that's a hassle
for a lot of messages]. Of couse, when I'm at home I can use Netscape Mail
to read it.
