He most certainly is, just read the headers.

I'm using it right now because I'm forced to use windos to appease
Microchip and my PIC programmer.  At the rate the Microchip is moving
with their toolset, they should have a Linux version in about 25 years
or so.  ;-)

RFC 1521 section 5.1 says that it's a standard.  You don't consider the
RFC's to be mere suggestions, do you?  ;-)

It's not that his client doesn't support it, it's just that when you do
a reply using OE, the qp stuff doesn't get indented (quoted) no matter
how you set the client.  It's just a another in the long list of
deficiencies of OE.  :-(  My favorite is the "begin" issue, as it makes
for all kinds of fun.
