Please, forgive the question. To what are you refering with MTA and
MDA? This comment seems to imply that they are mutually exclusive. I'm
now re-confused. Which programs are MTA's and which are MDA's? In my

Depends on who's speaking. Some people use English or Russian words
with Hebrew prononciation, but most people, like myself, use the real
Hebrew words. It's very annoying to hear English words in the middle
of a Hebrew sentance. :)
