RE: jdbgmgr.exe hoax virus?

[Dan Stromberg <strombrg () dcs nac uci edu>]

If y'all were using a threaded MUA, we might not get so many nearly
identical answers to the same question...  mutt (text), evolution (gui),
sylpheed (gui), mahogany (gui) all run on linux (plus some other

!@#$ing Microsoft's broken threading "standard" - outlook messages don't
thread properly.
