   I do a lot of troubleshooting at home for 'average' users. That's how I   
   make my living. I'm absolutely sure that people (and that are the   
   'average' users, not people here in this newsgroup) is not going to use   
   Pine or slrn. I have even the biggest problems to make them switch from   
   that spyware-collector Outlook Express to for example Thunderbird.   
   With all respect, but I still say if you install Pine or slrn or something   
   like that, you're absolutely not an average user.
