Quite the contrary, PMMail. ;)

In theory it is great and in practice it is, too. Sure, we live in WinDOS
here but it doesn't mean we cannot take the high points of the other world and
incorporate them here. Like I said, I like how TB! and PMMail handle multiple
accounts. There is nothing as elegant and power in the Unix world. I'm
certainly not one to sit on that side of the fence and say "Hey, that's great
in Windows, but we live under Linux."

Take mutt and do what? Btw, you might want to check the many, MANY posts
I've made on the topic on www.deja.com before answering that. Chances are,
I've already addressed what you may me thinking of several times over.
Needless to say, mutt, while an excellent single-user, single-account MUA is
utterly outclassed compared to PMMail/TB! when it comes to multiple accounts.

Cool, postie. Actually, I used postie to send out turns for a Stars! game
that I hosted quite a while ago. That and a batch file was all I need to send
out news postings and turn files for my game of 5-6 people. One could do a
lot with postie and perl if one was so inclined.
