[Tfug] Redhat & Thunderbird

[Bowie J. Poag]

It amazes me sometimes, what people put up with from their ISP's.. Going 
with a provider that blocks ports in the name of security is like moving 
into an apartment that complex that forces you to piss in the garbage 
disposal because people are known to slip and fall in bathrooms. :)

Cheers,
Bowie
