IMHO, you haven't seen a goot MUA 'till you've seen Mutt. I'm still running bo but I got this one out of hamm. It supports threading which is wonderful for mailing lists and is highly configurable (and it's character based, which I like). I could go on and on, but I left pine for what it is. Personally I prefer reading news with slrn (offline of course). Also I would advice the originatoe of this thread to use fetchmail for retrieving the mail. It has a simple pro: when fetching mail it just forwards it to the SMTP port, so things like procmail can work from your .forward file. I use it to put all my mailing list postings in separate files. _Very_ handy... Cheers, Rob. -- Rob S.
