And that matters how to my point, exactly?

I was ranting about the "foo may do it better, but they don't look better"
sentence.  And yes, I do realise you are not advocating it.  It might even
be sarcarsm, for all I know, so I am addressing the sentence *itself*.

BTW, AFAIK Mulbelrry tries to do it better, and they actually follow RFCs,
so I have no beef with them.  And I don't have one with Thunderbird, either
(I believe it will be fixed, unlike most of the hideously broken MUAs out
there, such as Outcrook).  I never tried kmail.
