Good question. I can't recall ever doing that as averything I used it for was text only. When Pan and Sylpheed-Claws came around, I abandoned any use of Agent. But I'm pretty much old school - I like my apps seperate, thus use Mutt for mail and Pan for news groups. It's kind of full-circle, from RSTS/E Email (text) and trn for newsgroups to guis on WinXX, then Zmail, Netscape Mail/News, to Mutt and Pan. News was always the big problem - trn and nn were ok way back, but drive me crazy now. fwiw - Sylpheed-Claws works pretty well for me at home for my pop3 email. It supports imap, but is more Netscape/Mozilla like than Agent like. Bob -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
