You can also use Pine in IMAP mode and you won't need Exim. Other MUAs, e.g., mutt will allow you to do anything Pine does, and more. But, in my experience, mutt in IMAP mode is a little more of a nuisance than Pine. But I would recommend choosing the MUA that pleases you, and then try to figure out how to make it as simple as you want. sam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
