Every line in blacklist is commented out.

BTW, at some point Thunderbird was installed. I didn't think it was one 
of the included packages. However, there it was. I ran it and did a 
minimal setup. It didn't work to send myself an email. But I copied 
.thunderbird from my desktop machine to the laptop, fired up Thunderbird 
again, set it so it wouldn't download anything, then sent  myself a test 
message. It just came through. So now I can email myself stuff instead 
of using sneaker-net.
