I would like to add that PMMail has the poorest miltilingual support I've ever
seen. The other MUAs available just tell you frankly: yes, I can do this or: no, I
can't do this. PMMail, contrary to that, _pretends_ to support the MIME
multilingual extensions as covered by RFCs 2045 and 2047, but actually sends
out trash and can't read properly formatted mail. I discovered this only 'coz I'm
in a habit of checking this part of functionality in full details.

Almost the same here: when I found it can't do what I need, I kicked it off. It
was installed on my machine for maybe a couple of hours...
BTW. I never was really sure whether the development of PMMail is going on
still or has been already stopped.

Thought for the day:
You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the
bread to butter.
