I have done this. Unfortunately, you don't get attachments. The best way I found was to select a group of messages in Outlook, and forward them to another email account. This puts all of the email messages as attachments into one big email. Then I used mutt, configured some keys to do "macros", and saved the individual attachments into another mailbox. Wala! I had a PERFECT mail export feature.
My team at work decided on a certain coding standard that we liked, and I was going to run GNU indent on all of the horrible code (C and C++) to make it more readable. When GNU indent was through with it, it wouldn't even compile.
Not only that, but GNU indent has no way to indent with spaces instead of tabs.
Of course he is relevant, but not quite as relevant as he used to be. I still like to hear what he has to say, as long as he's not flaming someone and not bragging.
When you have to have a somewhat steady revenue stream, sometimes you have to release a product that is less than your ideal in the short term, while working toward your long term goals.
GNOME is no longer a "spare time" effort, and several commercial companies depend upon it. I think Miguel is suggesting an intillegent approach.
Being better is not always what matters. Often, price is what matters. Software design in the real world requires trade offs. If you are on a constrained budget, it doesn't matter if oracle is light years ahead of gpl alternatives. The gpl databases meet your budget
The great thing about databases is that there is at least some standardization with SQL. So you can upgrade to a more robust, expensive database over time.

Clearcase vs. CVS?

I recommend the book "Open Source Development with CVS". It is easier to understand and use than the Cederdqvist manual.
Besides the standard (and useful) response "use a better keyboard and pointing device," I found that I was sleeping on my stomach, and I had a bad habit of tucking my wrists under my body. That put extra pressure on them all night long, and once I stopped doing that, my wrists felt much better.
If I were a company releasing source to the public, I would probably not release it under the FreeBSD license because I wouldn't want my competitors to be able to profit from selling it. However, if my goal was simply to get the most widespread adoption of my software, I would likely do a dual license release.
I think that it's commendable that you tried to help out your local school.
However, are you trying to scare people away from helping public schools?
While I don't doubt your story, it is not necessarily what everyone will experience. There are good, competent people that work in public education. They're not all as brain-dead as you suggest.
I think that I'd rather help people and run the risk of being mis/over-used than of not helping people it all.

I have run Gnome and KDE remotely using the Cygwin X11 server (on Win2000), and have been quite satisfied with the performance.
