Bbdb as well as the mail clients for emacs (gnus, WL, VM, pick one) are written in elisp, so are run by emacs. This means that they will work whenever emacs does, so windows/linux/openbsd is no problem. Bbdb is quite easy to use, but you might find the mail clients for emacs a bit confusing. I don't know WL or VM, but gnus is definitely harder to use than mutt. But if you tried VM and liked it, then go for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
