Terrorist Spam, ARGH!
It's bad enough I get endless emails offering stock tips, ringtones, and herbal Viagra, but now I'm getting spam from "Hezbollah Terrorist." The subject line reads "Rudi OneBBabes BabiesBad BoysBeat." I use the PINE email program on a UNIX system, so I'm impervious to the usual viruses, worms, etc. -- but, seriously, who is dumb enough to open this kind of an email on a vulnerable system? But you just know that someone somewhere out there thinks a real "Hezbollah terrorist" is attempting to contact him, and opens the email...

text base email application developed at my good ol' University of Washington no less.
Or is it just that it brings up fond memories of your youth?
I'm jealous. My ISP dumped PINE several years ago and now I'm stuck with their big clunky webmail when I'm away from home.
I (heart) Pine. :-)
There's probably superior stuff out there, but I've been using Pine for almost 10 years, and will probably never get out of the habit.
Ah, well, that's where you and I differ. I am not a tinkerer. Once I find something that works, I stick with it until the end of time or until something breaks and I'm forced to move on. :-)
