Yes, you can e.g. configure mutt to include some header including "From:" into the mail, when it's passt to editor. You also can edit the From-Header in the screen shown before sending. And you can automatise this using mutt's hooks and keyboard macros.
Principially you're asking the right question. Anyone who's believing that 99% of all geeks use the mozilla MUA, hasn't thought more than half a second about that subject. Maybe even hasn't thought at all.
But IMHO even pine is no more a geek's favorite MUA. Most geeks I know use mutt. Maybe with pine key bindings because of being used from pine in former times.;-)
But I think we should make a big difference between several groups of geeks:
Those who (are forced to) use Windows: There maybe a very big percentage of mozilla mail users, most of the rest uses perhaps "The Bat!" or Opera 7 (The Opera 6 and before MUA was horrible and had not much geek score, but Opera 7 has a feature, no one saw before: views instead of folders). And I do not know any geeks who use Eudora or Pegasus.
Those who use Linux, BSD or other Unix and prefer graphical MUAs (there maybe a big percentage of mozilla mail users, but also kmail and evolution seem to have quite a lot geek score). Don't know anyone who uses balsa.
Those who use Linux, BSD or other Unix and prefer text-mode MUAs. Most of them (my guess 70%) use mutt. Second place is probably pine, third maybe elm.
Geeks with other OSses (AmigaOS, BeOS, MacOS, etc): I have no clue what's a geeky MUA on their favourite OS.
My favourite MUA? I use mutt nearly exclusively. Works fine with screen, ssh and slow connections. Does not need to run locally, does not need a GUI. Works on colored and b/w monitors. What else do you need?;-)
According to the time stamp of this fine +5 funny poem, it took about 4 minutes: The article is from 12:52 (my time zone, I guess:), the poem from 12:56. If you calculate the time, the AC probably needed to check the link, notice, that it's already slashdotted and then type the poem and submit it, it's probably even less than 4 minutes, which is really heavy.
Interestingly the Slashdot effect this time (also?) seems to have hit their DNS server, because I always got and still get a "host not found" error instead of a "host not reachable" or "connection refused" as usual. Maybe the DNS server was running just on the same host. But what then happend to the secondary DNS server?
Thanks to commentators and moderators there were at least two links with similar informations and pictures. BTW: Regarding the caching issues mentioned in some +5 insightful comment, I agree to try to use the Google Cache (if they're fine with that additional traffic, they at least weren't pleased when one of the live tests of LWP connected to them and then filtered those request returning a 403 and therefore causing the live test to fail) or the archive at web.archive.org.
Evolution is still not an full Outlook replacement. For example, it can't handle NetFolders, Outlooks low price and e-mail-based possibility to share calendar and contacts entries.
So I have a look on every new OSS that tries to be an Outlook replacement in the hope to find something which can handle M$ NetFolders.
And no, the usual DIY isn't an alternative this time, because a) I don't want to reinvent the wheel (see above;-), especially not if just one spoke is missing, b) I don't like GUI MUAs (mutt rulez;-) and c) I'm more the Apache/PERL guy than the GTK/GNOME/KDE guy.;-)
P.S.: If I'm wrong with Evolution not being able to handle NetFolders, I would be glad, if someone could drop me a note, since which version it's available and how to configure them.:-)
Apache and PERL is still the bleeding edge of web developement. It's just no more alone at the top. Perhaps you should take a look on these Benchmarks. Especially the JSP don't look very good there and Embperl2 is usually very close to PHP regarding performance. Only Apache modules written in C are without real competitor. But you should also think about the ease of developent if you compare C code with PERL, PHP, ASP or JSP.
Think again. Trojans usually target towards portability, not to using programs with better user interface. With bash you wouldn't get access e.g. to most Solaris and SunOS systems.

To me "%2D" looks like URL-encoding of "-" (because 2D(hex) is 45(dec), which is the ASCII code for "-"), so the locale just is "en-us" like you know it from a lot of other places.
This system reminds me to something similar: Here in Europe there are several "free" web based SMS services, which show several banner ads on their page and you must click on one of these ads instead on some send-button to send your message. But I can't imagine that such forced add clicking works much better either...
Neil Jarram has written nice little piece of Emacs Lisp which let's you user your qwerty-keybindings for key-stroke commands, but dvorak-keybindings for editing itself (or vice versa...:-). IIRC it can also be used for national keyboard layouts. I believe that such remapping could also be possible for vi and vim. (Or ist this another advantage of Emacs?;-) So at least editing should be no problem...
But: That program is from 1992, so it seems as if it isn't very popular...:-(
First of all, the QWERTY keyboard was not designed to slow down typists. It was designed to reduce mechanical problems by intelligent arrangement of the letters (maximizing the separation of the most frequently used letters), and thus the angles at which the swingarms interacted.
But this was - as far as I learned in the lecture "Introduction to Cognitive Ergonomics" - also done by creating a layout where typing is slowed down so that the probability of swingarm jamming is reduced too.
Sure, which arms often jam is dependent from the layout of the swingarms. But Don't know if the swingarm layout is normed in any way...
by intelligent arrangement of the letters (maximizing the separation of the most frequently used letters), and thus the angles at which the swingarms interacted.
So there is some spatial dependence between the keyboard and the swingarm layout? Short said: if the swingarms would have some other order, the keyboard layout would look different (without regarding any optimization efforts)?
Those few of you who (like me) have ever USED a mechanical swingarm typewriter know what i'm talking about -- the swingarms that jam are the ones that tend to be close together.
Sure, especially on those mechanical travel typewriters. Used one the time before owning my first computer...:-)
But I also managed it to jam the swingarms on a quite fast (regarding the swingarm momentum:-) electric 20kg monster...;-)
I've collected several links to dvorak keyboard sellers and dvorak ressources.
Due to the US-english dvorak layout is only different in the positions of the keys on the board, you may create your own dvorak keyboard by just switching your key caps around. And for X11 you can use xkeycaps and xmodmap to tell your computer that you've done that...:-) You'll find an dvorak-xmodmap at Peter Amstutz' Dvorak page.
But if keyboard doesn't allow to switch the key caps around you can also relabel them...
Well, actually we have our own Linux fairs (e.g. the annual LinuxTag) and because of distances in Europe not being as big as in the US, it's ways easier than you thought.:-)
I like especially the lectures about actual subjects which are held on every LinuxTag. They are splitted into subjects for beginners, users and developers. It's also nice to see your favourite OS running on all that exotic hardware and to meet a lot of more or less well known people.
Slashdot Mirror
E.g. here with FreeBSD 4.6.
:-)
Will Slashdot ever learn? Although: Who don't want to know it first, when the release is out...

You never heard of mod_perl, FastCGI, Embperl, or the Template Toolkit if you're still talking about PERL CGI scripts, have you?

No, it has been removed already.
SCNR.
Think again. Trojans usually target towards portability, not to using programs with better user interface. With bash you wouldn't get access e.g. to most Solaris and SunOS systems.
But it reads from the connection and executes the read code via /bin/sh. You call this not a trojan?
Why not enable the morsing also on one of the LEDs? So instead of just blinking, the LED could morse the panic message optically, too. :-)

Efforts on national dvorak layouts are gathered at Introducing the Dvorak Keyboard: Non-English Layouts (http://www.ccsi.com/~mbrooks/dvorak/national.html ).
I've collected several links to dvorak keyboard sellers and dvorak ressources.

Dvorak Keyboard Sellers:
The Dvorak Layout in comparison to the qwerty layout can be found at Introducing the Dvorak Keyboard .
There are also efforts on creating non-english dvorak layouts.

But the most important thing is to get new t-shirts... ;-)
Oh, and btw: There is no entry fee at all at LinuxTag... :-)
