As far as GUI programs go, xbuffy is great (and doesn't have a problem with unread messages that aren't new.) It surely wouldn't be too hard to write a curses or even simply text front end to its mailbox code (which is the hard part.) Note that I'm not volunteering to do this, though. -Daniel -- Daniel E.
