Could you folks please stop these attempts to talk people
into using certain software? This has been tried before,
and is really not necessary.

I suppose Wietse has his reasons for his choice of tools,
and I suppose everyone here should be old enough to
respect these reasons, whatever they be.

Note, BTW, that the message in question was indeed
horribly broken, including such nice things like the
encoding of e-mail addresses in message headers using
UTF-7 and RFC2047 (nested, and in this order - quite
impressive). Please also note that there is no utf-7
support in mutt right now, and that utf-7 data are spit
out as is. Actually, this is the right thing to do for
the first 20 lines or so of the message in question, but
scrolling down shows some ugly stuff.
