WARNING! DO NOT FOLLOW THIS IDIOTS ADVICE!

Doing so will put your system in a state that is not what the packaging
system expects and sooner or later this will cause our packaging system to
be unable to properly maintain your system.

You should NEVER manually change files maintained by the packaging system,
other than config files.

If you want to maintain anything, including flash plugin OUTSIDE the
packaging system, start off by deleting the package, so that the packing
system has no knowledge of the files involved.

Of course, doing this means it is now your responsibility to take care of
these files forever.

And to the original poster, figure out how to configure your MUA,  or get a
real one!
