Yup! I grew up with pine, until its limitations left me pining for something better... (har har) I tried several alternatives but didn't like any of them, until I met mutt. Mutt is far more configurable than pine, and can handle a lot of stuff pine can't (this was over a decade ago, though, I don't know if this is still true... or if pine even exists anymore). I hate leaving my mail on some remote mailserver; I like keeping it all on my home PC (so that they are always accessible even if my 'Net connection goes down every now and then). So I set up my MX to deliver all mail to my PC, and I check mail with ssh/mutt. Nowadays I can even do this from my Android phone, though the low resolution and lack of a real keyboard does make it rather awkward to use. > (I use the website for replying to D postings though, since the > mailing list interface I find unreliable for outgoing messages.) The website is too GUI-like for my tastes. I prefer doing everything from mutt. :) T -- Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. -- Napoleon Bonaparte
