the other guy to thank is whoever wrote bogofilter, it stopped all my users from complaining about spam. What a godsend.

Whenever I see a news article that says "e-mail is dead" and "no one uses e-mail anymore", I really wonder if they think that businesses are gonna just start sending each other facebook direct mail or tweet the teleconference details. Please.

Bringing it back to desktop linux - does anyone use a desktop e-mail client that is not a web browser or Thunderbird?

EMACS is for people who want to use a IDE but feel smug about not having modern features and having to config everything themselves.

I like vi. Wouldn't call it a good editor as such, but it's reliable and mostly consistent regardless of where you are, and it's always there.

at least its better than accidentally ending up in emacs as a default editor and having to Ctrl+Z to bg the process then pkill it to quit (there's no other actual way to quit emacs other than to kill it's process that i know of)

ed is bad but it's so simple on the offhand you have to use it and have forgotten you can just look it up and figure it out in a few minutes. you need about three commands and they're all one letter

most of unix makes more sense when you remember it's 1) Berkeley in 2) the late 70s written by 3) dirty hippies

even more useful in the form that can be applied to streams

though being able to tell diff to output an ed script to transform its first argument its second can be useful, since you can then parse that script to get character-level change information…
