|And what, exactly, has this to do with the subject? It's 100%

but wait a moment; will you agree that Uschi Obermaier really had

Trigger happy policing.

You can always place something in the $PATH first which does
exactly what you want. (Just because i started supporting these
by-variable overwrites for the mua i maintain doesn't mean that
doing so is a sane thing by itself, generally speaking.)

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
