Re: [expert] pine & netscape
Well, the RFC's usually deal with transport format, not storage format. Nonetheless the basic data files *are* compatible, but Netscape makes extra files called ".foo.summary" for each mailbox "foo." If you update mailboxes with pine, netscape will get confused, but if you just wipe out the ~/nsmail/.*.summary files every time you finish with pine it should automatically re-generated them. Then it's just a matter of getting them to agree on the folder. Netscape is supposed to let you change the dir it uses but in my experience this does not work well. I'd either change it in pine or use a symbolic link. Not also that you may have an issue with different locations for inbox/outbox/sent mail.

Hi. Somewhere, I read that NS' email client follows RFCblah. Can these 2 share email folders? It sure would be handy to be able to use them both...
