Exactly. Some might think a big deal is being made out of nothing but
misinformation is far from nothing to a newbie who is trying to learn
what is correct and factual. But then no one should take seriously a
kid who thinks it's cool to copyright the 'given name' Kevin.

But, yes, that's pretty ridiculous to be caught using OE.

Misinformation? Bet you didn't even read the page Alan, it's reads factual.
You sure are painting a nice mental picture of me.
I guess it helps you to visualize things better while waiting for the fry
machine buzzer.

Btw, note the total lack of cross and top posting as well as liberal use

And Linux users have the audacity to claim windows is bloated.
At least its out of alpha...

Do you mean Windows' Registry bloat, feature-bloat in programs (such as
the dancing paper clip), or what? But, hey, if you like OE, then don't
be offended by mockery. Or, if you don't really like OE, or dare to try
something new, surf over to distrowatch.com or linuxiso.org. It's on me!
But because no one program does everything you want, you have a dozen
installed, and use each one depending on what 'feature' you want? If that
isn't unnecessary bloat, I don't know what is.
I use OE, it's fine.. does everything I need, and integrates well with the
other software I use. But because it' s made by Microsoft, I should be
mocked?
Dare to try something new? I was using BeOS for ages, toyed with slackware
and am currently using Redhat with Ximian Desktop and Evolution for mail.
I'm no stranger to alternatives. However, as an all-in-one, it falls well
short of my XP install which does almost every(but one)thing I need from a
computer. Just because something is made by someone other than MS, does not
make it a worthwhile alternative.

Your remark reminds me, instead, of the debate (loosely enough defined)
on Photoshop versus GIMP. Some say that GIMP lacks enough features,
such that one must supplement it, if using it at all.
Now, if I needed e-mail and a nice calendar at the same time, I might
prefer Evolu ... (oops, scroll down)
We were just talking about it ...
Of course, one would point to Evolution as exemplifying the all-in-one
approach, something that opens e-mail, lets you look at the calendar,
tells the weather wherever (Who cares? How much harm could it do?),
suggests surfing to salon.com (time-wasting but fun, like what we're
doing right now), and so forth.
(Not clear, whether this compares Evolution to Outlook, or Red Hat to
Windows XP.)
> which does almost every(but one)thing I need from a
That's logically sturdy, but heuristically suspect. (Or, as we said to
our friend with the new Mac: "At least Microsoft doesn't make it; how
bad could it be?")
But, granted, it's pretty hard to play games, in Windows, and post to
the newsgroups, in Linux, at the same time. I couldn't much disagree
with shutting down Red Hat and booting Windows for that. Sometimes
those fancy games are fun, too. Somehow I did wander into one of these
newsgroups.
The integration is a very good point but I kindly suggest using Forte
Agent. OE habitually drops messages regardless of what server
you're using and its filtering capability is inferior to Agent. Agent isn't
as pretty or modern looking but it's simply the best. Also, the more
modern looking, Outlook like, 2.0 version will be out soon.
