It's a bare-bones but extremely efficient (no stupid designer tricks, no
counter-intuitive cutesies) e-mail program that operates in the Unix
shell of those ISPs that offer a Unix shell... which is to say you're
working on the ISP, not your own desktop, so no virii can get to you,
besides which it seems to lack virus-writer appeal.

itself. No need to guild the lily...
