How can you be a simple farm lad when farming is a job requ iring the expertize of a Chemical Engineer.  You have to add fertilizer, you need to know how much, the soil pH has to be just right for the fertilizer to work, etc, etc. I know as I'm a Che.Eng turned hay farmer in my retirement. Sorry list for the OT rant, but it's true.
Back on topic, a little, I have TB and Evol installed and set up but my old eyes which weren't that good anyway demands a MUA  that  has minimal clutter especially for list mail. Next time I'll correct the reply when I know it will formatted incorrectly.
