History, and because much of the world has differnt points of view
on what e-mail should accomplish.
I was amused by a recent posting suggesting that to receive e-mail
based asynchronous replies from a server my web viewer program should
edit my /etc/alias file, run newaliases, and push my YP/NIS maps.  I
wonder what happed to "safe"?
