I don't want to have to wade through a mailbox full of lists when I'm connecting from off site, and have shut down my on-site mailer. Lots of folk use procmail, but since I'm using qmail as an MTA, I thought I'd see if I could use it's native methods, and it's really easy, with a shell script that's just a case $SENDER block. > 3. thread topic support The best threading mail reader that I've come across is mutt, but that might be too traditional for your option 1. If you find a pretty, lightweight X-based MUA that does a good job with threads (and MIME, and PGP), I'd like to know about it too. XFMail isn't acceptable, because I've got 130M of mbox mail boxes in a deep directory hierarchy, and I'd like to keep them that way. The last time I looked at XFMail it insisted on an un-nested mh-directory style of mailbox. Is it still the case? Nate: it's a while since I looked at VM on XEmacs. I found its layout cluttered and it's key sequences awkward. How configurable is it, really? Do you use it as it comes out of the box? -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
