Yes, mutt is lacking if you compare it with e.g. KMail because mutt is only a MUA, which requires the services of a MTA (sendmail or such) for delivering the mail (via SMTP) and fetchmail/sendmail for getting it. And it requires the service of an MDA such as procmail for doing sorting. And yes: You also need an external editor like vim or emacs to write the mail. So I think, comparing mutt with KMail or Evolution just misses the point, because those are COMBINATIONS of all the little agents mentioned above. One could ask of course, if the whole mta,mda,mua concept is too complex and time-consuming for a single user wanting to read his mail. One could also ask if the whole debian concept is too complex for a single user who just wants to write a letter and print it out. Windows seems to be much easier sometimes, too. ;-) m. -- Martin Möller <listen AT andvari.de> Using Debian etch/testing for amd/64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
