Thanks, Derek, for a refreshing and informative post in this mostly dreary and argumentative thread. Being a heavy user of XEmacs for composition of documents, I have been handling mail with Gnus (which runs under XEmacs), and enjoy the ability to zip through a stack of spam by simply holding down the "E" key to mark the messages for deletion. But I not infrequently forget the combination of keystrokes required for mail manipulations other than the routine operations of reading, printing, deleting, and forwarding. So at present I'm using Thunderbird as an expedient when I need something out of the ordinary. I tried Sylpheed and Balsa and Evolution a while back, but each was in development, and had a few problems I could not live with or wait to be fixed. And then there is the matter of the rodent, which I hate. I've looked at Mutt a time or two, but I never managed to use it. I spent a day two trying to write a configuration file for Mutt, but I got lost in the options, not knowing what was essential and what was not. However, if Gnus were to disappear today, I would make every attempt to learn to use Mutt, particularly in view of the fact that I hate the mouse. So, could you perhaps recommend a web site or a how-to for getting started with Mutt? RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
