I use Mozilla Thunderbird, although not for news (for news I use tin on a
Linux shell account). Thunderbird rocks.

How about a windfall profits tax on the Oil Companies, who will now get
$42/barrel for domestic oil they happily sold for $27 last year.

Hummer sales are slumping.

Same problem here exactly! I use TIN for the most part on UNIX
(FreeBSD) and that serves my needs, but it does a poor job at filtering
Phillip's FUD.

I used to use Thunderbird (with GPG) for my email, but it doens't play
well with COURIER-IMAP. It works most of the time flawlessly, but
occassionally it messes up the subscribed file and places a ghost folder
in the tree. Further, it occassionally moves folders around seemingly
randomly. This is an issue, because I use procmail to sort my email
prior to fetching it and I can end up with the same folder in two
places, and not notice it until I realize that some expected messages
are missing from one of them. It can be hard to recitify this problem,
so I quit using it until they fix some of the bugs.

Doubtful.

No.

Why should they? M2M is a marketing tool to try to attract people's friends
and family to all sign on to the same carrier, in order to get "free calls."
Similar to long-distance calling circles of about a decade ago.

What incentive would Sprint have to see its competitor have that advantage
over it?

Cause Sprint gets paid by Virgin mobile about 10 cents for every minute
they use, so it's something that would be trivial to do IF THEY WANTED
TO.

But that might require a Customer Friendly Outlook on things, something
SprintPCS is rarely accused of.

Complete and utter hogwash, Phillie, and, worse, you know it.

Every carrier, even the virtual ones, wants to differentiate itself,
make itself unique. This is one of the means of doing so.
