Oh I've read it and understand it - I just think it's completely wrong
from a usability and conceptual perspective.
People shouldn't need to know how to configure things like this:-
:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 16384 msgid.cache
:0 a:
duplicates
to participate on a mailing list.
The whole point of the web, and especially a server side language like
PHP, is that it doesn't care what user-agent is accessing it. You can't
assume that everyone is using *nix systems to particpate in this list.
Due to work related reasons I have to use both Linux and Windows.
