The newer versions of Squirrelmail are quite nice. Some of the plugins are
very good especially, like translation tools, calendaring, testing 'fetch' and
others. The spell checker is nice, too.

But I'm using majordomo instead of mailman for the same reason you keep
Kronolith...

Speaking of which, I had a co-worker who was several petals short of a flower.
One day I walked up to his desk and stated: "You know, having children is a
hereditary trait: If your parents didn't have kids, you won't either." His
reply? "Really? That's cool to know!" Then he stopped, gave me a dirty look,
and tried to hit me. :)

My Dad told me quite young that having children is my wife's decision, and
with my counsel. Then I better have the guts, faith and work-ethic to support
her, and them. I believed him. I have a very good marriage to my best friend.
It doesn't hurt that she's hot, too.  :-)
