My highest recommendation is Gnus. It's a fantastic mail program that runs inside emacs, and handles news, so most of what you learn for mail is applicable for news or for more general emacs editing purposes. It probably has more features than you could (would want to) ever use. Gnus easily handles threading your mail and news, and splitting your incoming mail into different groups (mailboxes) based on whatever criteria you like. You'd use fetchmail to download your mail to your machine and then Gnus to deal with it, and I'd recommend using the Gnus nnmail backend which stores each message as a separate file, and is faster than the other backends. There are of course other good mail programs. I used to use mh (and exmh) before I switched to Gnus. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
