You use a text mailer because it's *not* graphical. As nice as lynx is, it's okay for those who use MSN and insist on sending HTML-mail, but that's about it. Maybe I'm not set up properly, but I have to go through at least 3-4 keystrokes before I can see an e-mail written in HTML. In addition, replying to HTML-mail brings up a blank page (as in, the HTML-mail is not converted to text and quoted).
Again, I may have it misconfigured. > Also, if you use PGP, it has about the best PGP support of any mailer > I've used. Evolution is getting better at it, including auto sign/encrypting mail. I need to get PGP set up on my box(es), but every time I set it up, the configuration/key sending procedure gets me messed up. So now I have at least one key from 4 years ago under my own name and I have NO way of revoking it (whoops). Maybe a future meeting can discuss the nuances of PGP? -Mark _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
