Maybe we are fed up with fucking with .procmailrc and .muttrc?  I want
Bayesian filtering that "learns" every time I delete or move a message
to a different folder.  I want an "L" command that KNOWS, all by itself,
just from looking at the headers, that it is dealing with a mailing
list, and act in a way that I have configured, maybe to reply to the
list, and maybe to reply to the original sender.  There is no reason why
things can't be this way, other than a masochistic streak among the
technical elitists.

Ouch, I slammed a rock onto my toe, ow.  Ouch, I slammed a rock onto my
toe.  Ow.  Ouch, I slammed a rock onto my toe.  OWW!  Dis doctah sez,
"don't do dat no mo'ah!"
