I'm not Faidon, and I'm not even a regular contributor to this list, but as a data point of almost vanishingly possible interest, I can say that the above isn't even much of an exaggeration for the suitably old-guard set. Me, I read mail using a shell script 'mshow', which boils down to a selective cat from $MAIL into more, and gratuitous base-64 encoding is indeed an issue, causing me to pretty regularly have to type mshow | mailbody | b64 -d | more I have really got to automate that some day. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
