Thanks for the tip. What i wanted to do was to run procmail and mutt.
The reason I'd like it not to interfere with the registry is that i'm
not the Admin and the alternative is to use Outlook


So what? HKEY_CURRENT_USER is all yours. Just select "Install For Just
Me". Doh.


Right.  Just note that this means services (crond, sshd, etc) can't
be run as SYSTEM as described in the documentation.
