Unfortunately the FreeBSD guys also do it -- they sell a 4 CD version,
but only provide the ISO image for the first, as an incentive to buy
the CDs. There's no way I can shell out $40 for each release of theirs
(and the bastards do release a lot -- I wouldn't mind so much paying
$40 for Debian releases, for example ;-).

mutt is a text-based client; this is a huge advantage for me, as I tend
to type emails, not click them
