Even if I had .mac, I can't see why I would use it as my SMTP when I 
have a perfectly good cable SMTP from which all mail is sent.

True...even OE works better, but Emailer was the very best and I still 
use it on a separate machine.
Yes I know I can run it under emulation while working in X but I hate 
the emulator and if I'm going to be in X it's going to be 100% because 
otherwise it slows me down.
The only thing I would need 9 for is Real Encoding, my digital Olympus 
which has yet to create drivers for the camera, and Emailer.
