Hi Kermit,

I'd like to second Danny's suggestion of Thunderbird. It is a very 
nice client by the same people that produce firefox.

I spent a few minutes trying to find out how to set IncrediMail to 
quote properly. Unfortunately, there is no downloadable documentation 
(at least not separate from the program itself). Searching 
<http://www.incredimail.com/english/help/searchfaq.asp> for `quote' 
gave no results :-(  So, IncrediMail doesn't quite seem so Incredi to 
me ;-)

For what its worth, the feature set that they promote it with (things 
such as ``Amazing animations'', ''beautiful email backgrounds'', and 
the ability to ''add funny animations to your emails'') are all likely 
to be *very* unwelcome on any python or other technical list.

If you really like IncrediMail for your personal email, you might 
think of installing Thunderbird, getting a gmail account and using the 
combination to post to technical lists, keeping IncrediMail for 
messages to friends, etc.[*] (If you need help with any of that, you 
can write me off-list.)

[*] My guess is that after a while, you'll find yourself switching to 
Tbird. :-)

Best wishes,
