Who reads their email the most Classically?

Ugh, no kidding. My university's student paper recently (meaning, before I
graduated) complained that the online registration process was too slow and
difficult to use, and resulted in registration errors. Their suggested
solution? Switch to a web-based registration system. Sure, that will speed
up our horribly bogged-down and underpowered Suns -- make them serve HTML
and run CGI Perl scripts.

Likewise, a flashy Web mail gateway was just set up for use. Luckily, they
still kept Pine on the servers for those of us who prefer power over
prettiness.

GSL, who is still wondering when they'll actually get around to cancelling
his student account

P.S. I'm afraid my current mailreader is OE under Win98, due to my work
environment.
