Hello Again, Many thanks for the kind replies from Adrian, Buddha, Dima and Igor. It's so helpful to have people available that have the knowledge and information one needs. I appreciate your time and effort. Yes Igor, I turned off html in my outgoing messages. Please advise if there is still a problem there. Well, it turns out that there is a new POP3 compliant X package that does everything I need to do: fetches POP3 messages from the ISP, sends outgoing messages, makes user-defined folders, uses a really neat mail reader, composes outgoing messages, is eminently configurable, plus does other stuff that I'm exploring. The executable is a static binary. What I like is that it is one package and does not require other supporting packages. It's currently in beta but seems to be fairly stable. This is a work-in-progress with other features to be added. Anyhow, it's called XCmail and is available from sunsite. The file name is XCmail-0.9-Linux-bin.tar.gz. I don't know if the authors would agree to GNU licensing or not. I stuck it in /usr/local/xcmail with a soft link to the /usr/X11R6/bin directory for executing it. --- Victor -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
