Seriously,

I wasn't even trolling. Those were just the thoughts that came out of my
head. The extremists were quick to respond though.

Word up guys, we're on the same side, I was just checking that you were
the real deal.

Also at least the majority of the replies didn't top-post. For that I am
grateful to Allah.

On another note, I can appreciate mutt's many and varied charms just as
much as the next guy. But, 2011, have you tried notmuch yet?

I can heartily recommend the offlineimap/notmuch/emacs threesome.

Best Regards,
