    About replying : I couldn't find a way to set a In-Reply-To in
    Thunderbird after looking for at least 10 minutes. At least it can get
    it from Firefox. I never used it, but I would expect mutt to be able to
    set In-Reply-To manually. Actually, I considered trying mutt before for
    that reason.

    IMHO apt's error for apt-get install apt-show-versions; has something
    wrong since you have perl already installed. Maybe it's an apt bug. I've
    never seen apt-listbugs do that, good thing you thought about it. That
    must be ruby's fault, since all scripting languages suck...except PHP ;-P
