Tell Robin it's a piece of cake, write something better for windows users.
I don't use OE when I'm here because I like MS or because I'm clueless or
because it came with my machine, I use it because I like OE better than
other email/newsreaders.

It's kind of like when everyone was going on about that OS/2 compuserve OLR
and I was using tapcis. Tapcis was just a great OLR even if it was a dos
app.
