Alright, I'll bite.

What are the "NANOG-approved" MTA/MUAs for this list that sort by
conversation thread, run on Windows, send in wrapped plain text, have
NANOG-approved OOO messages, and otherwise don't cause a flamestorm on
the list?

Because it's *impossible* to get one of the most popular MUAs to
understand
that mail with an SMTP MAIL FROM 'owner-*@*' shouldn't be replied to.

So it's just a special case of "why do clueful people use software from
that
vendor"?. And since it's the holidays, let's just leave it at that.
