Right. And presumably the best choice you can find... I mean why would you
not use that? Maybe out of habit? But unless there is a good answer it is
the best choice... and as you admit it has a significant weakness.

Again, not putting you down for it. My Usenet client SUCKS! But it has some
pretty good abilities in terms of "smart folders" and so I stick with it
(and there is simply nothing free on macOS I have found which I like).

You prefer a tool that does not work well because you do not value good
tools? Or prefer it because even with its weaknesses it is the best you can
find on Linux?

use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
