Pretty hilarious coincidence! I'm a CLI e-mail junkie myself (stillFunny thing - I was rebuilding/reconfiguring Postfix on my system,
and for a while I thought I had somehow put in a mail-replicating
rule in its configuration file :-) (used to happen with sendmail and
its rewriting rules, but less likely in postfix).
And I managed to get my new text-mode e-mail client (Cone) compiled and
running today morning. For a while I wondered if my e-mail client by
itself was buggy/badly-configured after seeing the flood!
