If what Gord is saying about Claws depending on systemd is true, it's
not a troll at all. So, does or will Claws require systemd? If so, why?
It's a standalone application that doesn't need to be started by the
boot process.

If Claws does NOT require or depend on systemd, please tell us, so we
can shut down this thread, and if Gord's distro's (human) package
maintainer insists on making systemd a Claws requirement on the distro,
Gord (and I) can go yell at the package maintainer.

So bottom line, does or will Claws-Mail require systemd, or doesn't it?
I promise I'll shut up if it doesn't and won't.

Thanks,
