Hi all, hi Pete,

yesno :D. "Discourse" provides something that fakes a mailing list, but
it's crap. I'm interested in Evolution, but I receive emails related to
"Nautilus".

The Discourse "mailing list" comes with a few pitfalls, for example...

It has got a Social Credit System.

As MUA I don't need something special, I liked Claws, but Claws became
entirely broken and the developers don't care much about users. It has
got a small community of users that don't experience much issues with
Claws, but anybody else vanishes one by another from the mailing list. I
dropped Claws entirely. I don't like Thunderbird, or should I say
Mozilla?

Ralf
