[thelist] Which email app delated the shuttle?

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19991220/ts/space_shuttle_19.html

Anyone know which "Windows based" email app they use on the shuttle? 

{note - I'm really asking - not trying to be cute}

It *could* be X-Windows - but I sense a whiff of Redmond in this story.

I probably owe for this blatant rip of Windows email clients.


<TIP TYPE="Measuring junk on your screen">

I'm always amazed at how many folks have never encountered this nifty
piece of freeware/shareware (you can buy a spiffed up version, but a
lesser version is available free).

It's simple as mud - a yellow ruler you can use to measure distance on
your screen, vertical or horizontal.

I've used and use it under Macintosh, Windows NT, Windows 95 and 98.
