I, for one, do. Or copy and paste about three times in order to use one
of those stunningly long URLs. Why? Because it's essentially impossible
to be even momentarily fooled by phishing emails or accidentally execute
a Trojan attachment in mutt. Similarly, I'm using a shell client for
netnews. And a shell client for IRC. All of those tools isolate my
actual personal computers from the the machine in the rack in San Diego.
