Hopefully, with S/MIME support.  My S/MIME support right now is very weak.
A good project for me would be to paste the various MIME pieces together
automatically so I can feed it to PGP.  Thankfully, it's so far been a
non-issue since I'm the only person I know who uses encryption.

I guess that's good and bad.  As long as the work's rewarding, it's
probably worth it.

Is this because the closest theaters are so far away, or is it something
else?

Yeah.  It's especially unfortunate that Schwartzanegger has no
intellectual curiosity, much like George B.  (Apparently, Arnold dislikes
reading as much as George.)

I voted Nader, but I was safe in doing so.  I'll probably hold my nose and
vote Kerry.

At least things are looking up in Canada.  It looks like the Liberals will
be forced to form a union with NDP and Quebecois.  I hope they'll make
real changes.
