I'm starting to worry that I always disagree with you. Let me just start by saying that I respect you quite a bit. That said... You're just plain wrong. Witness web browsing: sure you can do it without a gui, but who wants to? I choose to use Evolution because the GUI makes me more productive. Heck, even pine and mutt recognize this by trying create a text based gui. You only have the right to dispute this point if you use mail/mailx and telnet to port 80. Text based interfaces are powerful. So are GUIs. Each should be used as appropriate. Truly powerful and flexible programs have both. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
