This week at work, we have all been migrated to a new mail setup, which means in particular that Linux users (i.e. most of the people in this room) have to read their mail using Ximian's ‘Evolution’ client.

It occurred to us this morning to wonder why there isn't a rival mail client, called ‘Creation’. Notable features would be:

• There is no version number, because there is no process of incremental improvement. Creation was in its final form at the moment of initial release.
• If you think you've noticed any bugs or flaws in the design, you just don't understand it well enough. Every aspect of the program is in accordance with a higher purpose.
• If anything really bad happens, such as Creation losing all your mail, it's because YOU DESERVED IT!
• There is no acknowledgment when you ask Creation to perform an action. Users are expected to have faith.
• It is of course hoped that Creation will become the default mail client for Jesux[1].

Come to think of it, actually, I'm quite surprised that googling for ‘Creation MUA’ hasn't already turned such a thing up :-)
