Don't know if you have ever had the misfortune of working in an environment
where Lotus Notes is your only option, but as a mail tool, the Notes client
is bloody atrocious[2]. Putting in-line or even sensibly quoted additions
to an existing email is so bloody hard that I never bother. On the other
hard, the fact that user defined agents are disabled as well[1] because of
the load it places on the server means that I don't bother subscribing to
any mailing lists at work.
Cheers

[1] This results in the complete and utter lack of the ability to
automatically sort and filter incoming mail.
[2] I know quite a few people on this list that would agree with me on this!
