You miss my point. They are _HINDERING_ development. They have an
_AGENDA_ which it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what
motivates that agenda.
It's also an incorrect assertion, I think.
Microsoft may have 98% of the MUA market. I'm not sure that's true, but I'll
admit the possibility. I VERY much doubt, however, that 98% of the MTAs out
there are running Microsoft software. Remember, SPF is implemented on MTAs,
not MUAs. For SPF's purposes it doesn't matter if your MUA is Outlook,
Thunderbird, Webmail, or telnet to port 110.
