Pleasure to help.
Not sure if that is a question or a statement, but sudo apt-get install
thunderbird enigmail.
Thunderbird's developed by Mozilla, alongside firefox, although not as

Circus. Nukkad.
And epic #win - watching Brit comedy shows
Don't forget Famous Five, Fauji, and Bodyline. (Oxford comma moment. I decided
to keep it in the end).
And, of course, The show. The reason why TV was invented. The single greatest
and most popular Indian schoolboy TV serial of all time.
Giant Robot.
