Most laptops run Windows and of course I could read my mail like any
poor Windows user with a browser :-) But I don't. I fetch my mails from my
ISP with fetchmail and pipe them through sendmail and procmail (for
filtering); and I send upstream with SMPT && SSL to my ISP using
sendmail. More, if you have to pay the Internet link in a hotel, for
example in Havana time based ($4.50 per hour), it is so nice to connect a
few seconds(!) to fetch all your mails, shutdown the link, read and
answer the mails offline, queue answers with sendmail, and re-open the link for a
few seconds to send the mails out. Isn't this handy?

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
