Well, I use pine as well, and it's pretty simple to use. It has a nice help-function built in, and it's pretty easy to set up. While setting it up, if you don't understand a topic, you can just type "?" to get some explanation about it. It stores its mail in a different folder than netscape though. Netscape stores in ~/.nsmail; pine in ~/mail. Also, pine is console-software, so don't expect any graphical stuff. It might be overwhelming at first, but after a while when you're used to it, it behaves pretty well. Only thing I use netscape mailer for is for newsgroups. -- Rial Juanhttp://nighty.ulyssis.org e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Belgiumtel:(++32) 89/856533 ulyssis system admininstrator http://www.ulyssis.org The little critters in nature; they don't know they're ugly.

Go see the www.symantec.com site, or www.mcafee.com to find it and remove it if needed. Good luck Paul What's up with this message? I hope there's nothing to it- I am in the habit of just deleting or next-ing to the next message without going back to the list(NS4.70)-especially when there's 250+ msgs like this am. Anyway, heeding the warning I went to the list and highlighted the message from Paul to delete without reading it(as much as I enjoy his posts) only to find that there is a small window under the list in which it was opened as soon as I highlighted it. I hope I don't have whatever virus you're talking about and if so how could I tell? -michael- )0(---)0( Law of Gifts: You get the most of what you need the least. )0([[EMAIL PROTECTED]]-)0( http://nlpagan.net - ICQ 147208 Registered Linux User 174403

Someone on the list posted something that, in Pine (unix mailer) showed up as a bunch of garble and wobble. I;ve been in the computing business long enough to recognize strange things, and this looked a lot like the KAK worm virus. If you received that mail with a Linux mail program, then you are safe. In windows, you should scan for it.
