<venting> Ok, Thunderbird SUCKS!  Evolution SUCKS!  If they ran reliably 
then I'd say otherwise, I really like the features they are *trying* to
perfect, but either way both programs are dogs right now.  Evolution
would be nice if it would ever shut down properly without requiring 
that I kill a million processes before trying to reload it.  Thunderbird
would be nice if it would run more than once before having to delete
the ~/.thunderbird directory and start from scratch EVERY time I try to
fscking load it. </venting>

This coming after I get to work this morning and have to 'kick' Evolution
to get it to process 200 messages through my filters.  Damn piece of crap.

Arggggh!

Guess its time to check out console based mail clients...
