Re: [[newbie] Can anyone recommend a good email program?]
Because HTML was never designed to be used in email. It bloats the size of the email message and takes up bandwidth for non-essential data. I guess it comes from using the internet and Fidonet many moons ago, when 2400 baud modems were speed-demons and 300/300 or even 1200/75 was more like the norm. Anything you could do to squeeze the last few cps out of a modem and keep the connection costs to a minimum was "a good thing". Over here in the UK, every connected phone call costs me cold hard cash. I don't have the luxury of a DSL modem or even a cable link. Local phone-calls cost me as soon as they connect. HTML is not neccessary for email. I can strip it out of the email after I've downloaded it, but by then it's too late - I've already paid to download it! When communicate with someone via email I want to be able to type in some text, and have it delivered. Ideally, the manner in which the message is rendered to the other party should be dependant upon /their/ browser. For example, I want the word 'their' in that previous sentence to be rendered to you in italics. I merely make a suggestion to the other parties email package that I'd like to draw emphasis to that particular word. Here, it displays as a slash, the word their and another slash. Anyone who was on Fidonet and has used packages like Spot, April, Foozle, etc. will realise what I mean! I don't want my email package to display "VIAGRA AVAILABLE HERE" in 48 point Verdana, blue background and red flashing letters because someone encases the thing in HTML. Ideally, I'd like it to be displayed in a montoype font, my usual 10 point size, no colours and no special effects! It's my choice! (Actually, I'd prefer it if the spam wasn't displayed at all!) HTML is absolutely great for web pages. Leave it there. I'm not even going to go down the embedded javascript (and the security implications that brings), gif and jpg attachments, attached midi files that start playing, etc. etc. etc. The only beneficial thing you can get from an email is the ability to click on a link, fire up the web page and browse straight to it. Of course, I'm not stupid and I can cut and paste the link just as easily. In fact, my usual email package allows me to hit PF7 and all links are stripped from the mesasge onscreen and placed into a seperate section of my bookmarks folder. Of course, I'm not mentioning that nearly every email package I've seen which send html email always (at least) doubles the size of the message by sending a plain text version and then sending the html'ised version immediately after it. WTF is the idea behind that! I can read at least one of them - don't send them both! Utterly brain-dead. BTW, I'm using Lotus Notes here at work. It truly is terrible for email. I can't control the quoting easily, I can't switch off attachments, etc. etc. However, I don't have a choice :( Steve Flynn IBM MVS Operations Analyst P.S. The record currently stands and 27k ot text for a mesage which basically had 4 words of content. "Our baby is born" sent to me (and 48 other colleagues at work). The idiot who'd sent it had been composing it in MS Outlook a few years ago and had messed about with placement, font sizes, colours, backgrounds and all sorts of other stuff.

SteveIn answer to the below question. I think my original
reply already answered that, but to elaborate. The people you
call "Utterly brain-dead" and "this unfortunate pondlife" are my
family and my friends who are simply using a turn-key system
from Best Buy or Sam's Club to the best of their ability. The
aren't old computer pros or long-time computer hobbyists.
They're just people who want to use the computer, not study its
inner workings. I'm not going to complain to them that I can't
read their messages because I choose to use an inadequate mail
client. That's rude. And this is the last I'll say on this
subject, as it is off-topic.

Re: [newbie] Can anyone recommend a good email program?
Eh! Nah! Lovely programs. Actually, I say this never having used ELM or PINE on my installation. I've used them both before under other flavours but never under Mandrake. Saying that, I used to use ELM as my email package on my Amiga 3000 alongside TIN for news. Being connected via a modem in the UK meant I was offline 99 percent of the time. I found them to both work beautifully. I fact, I used to use TIN to gate newsgroups from Usenet across in Fidonet. Worked beautifully. Not the most friendly of packages, I'll freely admit, nor are either of them 'pretty' (well, they weren't when I was using them about 3 years ago!) I do appreciate the nicities of a GIU interface though - using Win98 for the last two years as made me lazy. "What? You mean I can't just click on install?
