Hate mail, moi?  I haven't even started to piss people off.  :)

I actually don't get email on my VMS box (other than VDE checkin notices and nightly GEM build/test results - some might consider *that* SPAM).  I read my work email on my Macbook Pro using Outlook.  For comp.os.vms, I used my trusty Windows 7 box with Google Groups (although I have a fresh Win10 box with a nice Skylake processor sitting next to it waiting for me to migrate over).
