I started with Pegasus on Novell, much as that bugged me. I refused to pay for Eudora.

When Thunderbird came along, I never looked back and I have archives going back to 2001.

When I JUST hit reply, just now, it wanted to send to Daniel.

To paraphrase that ancient saying... To err is human. To really screw up, delegate it to a computer.  And then holler at people.
