Starting sometime in the last two or three days of January, my spam
disappeared.
Wow. Did someone shoot Alan Ralsky? Was there a sudden attack of good
taste that caused the hundred zillion offers to enlorge yr littul weenee
to disappear? Had Chinanet's old admins been reassigned to gulagnet?
No. Tentacle.net's mailserver was down.
It's back up now. Reconfigured, too. Maildir is dead. (It deserved it.
Gah, one file per spam?). So on the one hand mutt (at least
in default config) doesn't work anymore. And the imap server seems to be being
funny. (I say 'seems to be' because it might be the chaos-side pine config
instead.) On the other hand... mail works now.
(Mail, for the nonunixy, is a command line interface that's only a tiny bit
more user-friendly than telnetting into the IMAP port of your server. It's
beautiful.) It doesn't support MIME. I love it. If it didn't already exist,
I'd have to write it.

I see Atkins has discovered targeted marketing. At least, that's the only
explanation I can think of for why they have an animated banner ad on an
article about a man who claims to've made himself seriously ill by eating
an all McDonald's
diet. (Warning: The link wants to pop up crap if you have Javascript
enabled.)
