If you are unable to configure your mailer to correctly and usefully |
| 12 |
handle mailing lists, Gentoo may not be the distro for you. |

Mailers are incredibly flexible and powerful pieces of software, not to |
| 15 |
mention remarkably intelligent at times. You only have to look at the |
| 16 |

[1] I use Claws Mail, which also handles news, so I can read either from |
| 19 |
the same interface, but mail is there and news isn't so I'm still |
| 20 |
perfectly happy. I see no reason for a dev to take time away from more |
| 21 |
important tasks to set up and maintain a project, the only real benefit of |
| 22 |
