  • It's illegal if antitrust action is anticipated, according to the article. That said, I know that most places I've worked have had a document retention policy that called for automatic deletion of most documents after some time period, like a year.

  • So close on mutt! :)

    I have it set up so that it autoconverts all HTML messages to plain text as best as it can. If it's not good enough, I have a macro set up to launch the HTML version in Firefox so it's usable. (None of the images come through, which is potentially a feature.)

    I did look into writing HTML mail with mutt, and it's even uglier than reading. The gist of it is to basically have a wrapper script that launches some kind of HTML editor, then builds the multipart message (maybe autoconverting HTML to text so you can have both) and headers, then launches mutt -H email.txt to prepare to send it. If it looks good, send it from Mutt as normal. I don't know how well this would work with attached inline images, but it sounds potentially quite painful.

    But I don't regularly send HTML messages, so I haven't bothered with that route. I'd just bring up TB if I had to.

    (I can say, for me, since I went back to mutt, I'm happier with email than I've been for decades. And my RAM is happier, too. But I probably spent 20 hours configuring it. And everyone probably hates my preformatted text. They get back at me by sending 30 MB HTML-only mails. 🤣)

  • I don't disagree about what most people want. Personally, I don't really care for the features, so I'm an outlier. The one thing I do miss on my 25-year-old Saturn is cruise control.

    Plastic panels are awesome, BTW. 25 years and zero door dings.

  • I really like this concept. Definitely catches my attention. But I think minimalists are in the minority these days.

  • The absolute best thing about it was that after suffering under Microsoft's shitty operating systems for years, you were running a Unix-like on your own hardware. That part was amazing.

  • I love TB, but I also love simplicity. I just configured mutt (which I haven't used in 20 years) and love how fast and easy it is. Of course, it took me days to get it where I needed it, but using it reminded me of how bloated these other apps can get after years of additions.

    Glad to hear about the mail service.
