Basically, I use a hotmail and Outlook Express to help me SORT messages
on LKML. It makes it MUCH easier for me to find the messages I want to
read vs the rest of the noise that I don't understand yet.
One thing is certain: It is impossible to have a collection of geeks
this large, and not have some of them display the sort of egotistical
attitude that makes them go "Oh, he's using OE? Well, I shall thumb my
nose in his general direction! We should only allow
<Pine|Mutt|Emacs|Other> on this list. Sniff. Sniff.".
Just ignore it. I do. I learn more and more from this list everyday,
and if someone doesn't want to read what I have to say because of the
software I use to read the list, then I guess I'm not all that
interested in them reading it anyway. :-)

Scott
