If you are documenting software, I'd strongly recommend removing email
startup from your boot sequence.
Get some flaky pre-beta code crashing the system constantly, and the
restarting email every time gets slow. Especially if the flaky pre-beta code
gacks the network.
Grrr... flaky code... much rebooting... must remove the obnoxious comments
to programmers from the manual before publication...
Another cool thing about removing the email from the boot-up is that it
gives you time to think before firing off ill-conceived messages. Sometimes
not enough, though.
