Thanks for the response; I was hoping to shy away from Pine since it's not GNU GPL (but then, why am I using Netscape and WordPerfect?), but I may have to go that route. Sharing /var/spool/mail still puts the mail on a box that isn't getting backed up, so I'm not real comfortable doing that either. Oh well, life is full of compromises (but why do I always have to be the one doing the compromising?) :-) Thanks anyway!
