You make perfect sense here Damion but this person has demonstrated that
he is unable to either listen to sense or to understand it. In the end,
the brief amusement I got from someone who uses Microsoft Outlook
telling me that everyone else uses faulty mail programs was not enough -
perhaps someone will let me know off-list if/when this moron gets the
message and I'll take him out of my ~/.procmailrc.
Regards,
Christian.

freedom, they may be out of luck with me, but I won't allow them to
define for me what is right, what is worth spending my life for.
