Thanks, I will also read more on this. Your selection of tools closely mirrors mine except that I use esmtp as I had some issue with msmtp with my mail host and also that the former will handle local (daemon, etc.) mail. I've been using Mutt/fetchmail/procmail since 1999 as memory serves. I switched from exim (which always defied my ability to understand it, apparently, even though I had set up Sendmail once upon a time) to esmtp several years ago. > I certainly plan to package it for Devuan. Cool. Last year I switched from using Vim to Emacs as my terminal email editor. I'm not 100% satisfied as of yet as in tmux it doesn't allow me to place the cursor with the mouse and I have to remember to use Alt-F and Alt-B for word movement when I'm used to Ctl-Left and Ctl-Right arrows. More reading to do when I get bored again. :-D Pros of this workflow include having email stored on a machine controlled solely by myself, access from anywhere by the use of SSH so long as I have my private key, lightweight tools that free up system resources for browsers with too many open tabs, and a focus on the text rather than the presentation. It's not easy to adopt, but few things worthwhile are easy at first. Now there isn't GUI mail reader that I would switch to. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
