Enough to make you yearn for Windows!! <shrug> This is a common disagreement for me. I just don't care what the thing looks like as long as it does what I need and consumes minimal screen real estate. Consuming minimal screen real estate is critical and is what flunks out most tools -- espcially those things which insist on having toolbars or putting bloody icons about the place (I never ever want to see an icon on my desktop. Period.). XFMail fails both those criteria by handling MIME obtusely (eg it doesn't display message/rfc822 inline, or handle multipart/mixed digests worth a damn), and consumes great gobs of screen real estate. > The mail client I use is the excellent (IMHO) Ishmail. exmh here. Its not cute, or is at least no more cute than Tk in general (and of course there are several widget hacks for Tk), but is endlessly extensible -- which is another primary requirement for me. -- J C Lawrence Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------(*) Other: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--
