Gene, I prefer the maildir rather than mbox format, which narrows my choices somewhat. What I ended up doing was running virtualbox with a rather early version of Slackware in there, with the correspondingly early version of KDE, and use kmail to do all of my mail. Filters are rather extensive, since I keep on adding spammers to that list, and haven't given me any trouble, so far. -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.
