That's me, I expect. I used to use a TOPS-20 email reader called MM, and when I moved my email to a Unix machine, there was a version of MM I used there, then something happened (I forget what) and I couldn't use that any more. I do have access to a more modern email reader (Eudora), but don't like it; I just stick with old, simple stuff I know how to use. I don't have the spare brain cells / energy to switch. After going through I've-forgotten-how-many editors (starting with TECO, then 'ed'), text formatting systems, operating systems, email readers, etc, etc I have a _very_ simple rule about switching software: is the old stuff I'm using utterly, irretrievably unusable? If not, ignore the new stuff. Eventually it'll be obsolete too. And in the meantime, I'll have saved countless cycles by not going through the hassle of switching to it. Life's too short. Noel
