Just today I surfed to groups.google.com and searched my mailadress for archivated newsgroup postings. I read an interesting thread in de.comp.os.linux.misc (in german) with the subject: "What mailreader to use?" Believe it or not: your statement, quoted above, is the straight translation of one of those postings from April '99. Just the other way round: that guy quit pine and jumped right into mutt. BTW: I was using Gnus inside XEmacs as news- and mailreader with fetchmail and leafnode to poll and send mail and news. Some things never change: pine vs. mutt, vi vs. emacs - I'll end here, I'm getting religious and OT of course. wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html

Re: [expert] Any mutt users?
Hi Dude, got the same setup. Actually, I solved that using fetchmail and writing my mail into the local inbox (/var/spool/mail/). Was easyer - so I don't have to keep mutt up and running. Here my Fetchmailrc file: poll smtp.externalmailserver.ch protocol pop3 user blabou, with password "", is baba here with mda "formail -s procmail" My .procmailrc is quite emtpy ;) defaults are doing the Job. I do start the fetchmail-process with: "fetchmail -d 3600 --syslog" And that's it. It will get the mail whenever you want - you just have to issue the fetchmail command and the running process will check for mail. Hope I could help you... If any questions - just ask Cheers The Smurph On Sol-Date Sunday 08 July 2001 23:44, received hyperspace message from Wolfgang Bornath: > Hi, > > I know, in times of kmail et al it is hard to find any old fashioned > geeks with text based MUAs ;-) (Met some at LinuxTag in Stuttgart/Germany > though). > > My Q: I set up mutt on a standalone box.

Re: [expert] Any mutt users?
I also use mutt (not right now obviously) in concert with fetchmail and procmail. Works beautifully. -Charlie - Original Message - From: "Christopher W.
