Re: Email on the Iseries or not

["Douglas W. Palme" <dpalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The one issue I had with linux (and maybe it was due to the specific 
software we were using) was those users who will use two, three or five 
different workstations to access their email....sent messages would end up 
being stored in different locations, web based inherently always produces 
messages either in plain text (which the users hate) or html (which I hate), 
the matter of keeping all incoming messages in one location, etc.

Exchange was able to solve these particular issues but requires a high level 
of maintenance which I detest.

If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
