I still don't understand. I sent an email from mutt to my Win98 box, fired up OE to read it and didn't have to open any attachment. The message was shown as though it were inline text. So, I suspect Todd is right: it's an OE misconfiguration. andy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] console MUA recommendation
thanks for the suggestion, i've evaluated Evolution, Sylpheed, Mozilla Mail, Kmail for my choice of GUI clients, my conclusion for Sylpheed was the most suitable for me. so now i'm searching for my console based one.

[newbie] console MUA recommendation
hi, i'm hoping for some recommendations for a console MUA. (i'm a heavy IMAP user, usually uses sylpheed, occasionally mozilla mail, and OE5.5/6 if on Windoze) i basically intend to use it to read a few mailing lists thru an IMAP account with IMAP folders i've used Pine before, and found it pretty intuitive, but i understand there are some license changes recently that makes it less "open", for lack of better understanding. i also like Elm, but it doesn't support IMAP outta the box. i understand many pp are using mutt, but on another mailing list, many Windoze users seem to complain that mails sent by mutt is always in the form of an attachment, which is irritating. is this a feature i can turn off? are there other popular alternatives to Pine/elm/mutt? (er, no emacs pls) thanks in advance. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
