I use Mozilla 1.4.1 which, if both it -and- the mailman server are 
optioned properly, works just fine. I don't use either Evolution -OR- 
any Microsoft mail reader for anything -- much less a Linux-oriented 
mailing list -- but I'm gonna take this opportunity to make a statement:

It's a sick world in which one of the most prolific contributers to this 
list gets challenged by anyone who uses a Microsoft product. It seems to 
me that the readers of this list should be willing to learn Sanskrit or 
Ancient Hebrew if either of those happens to be the language preference 
of the guru-contributers and it would be interesting to know who had the 
balls to bitch about GPG signatures.

There! That was cathartic.
