I use pine to send mails and fetchmail to receive them. My configuration works like this : If my ISP mail account is X@ ISP._, I have a login called X , where , .fetchmailrc and pine are configured.
By means of a shell script , I have overcome one limitation my approach would have landed me in : exposing my password in text files . My doubt is .... Once we are connected onto the net , and fetchmail & or fetchmail -d commands are run , you get your mails , They alert you like : You have mail in /var/spool/mail/X Once I am offline , I take the mail command and at the prompt type r (to reply) mail . . &r All the stuff is fine , I type in my message (I am offline), and when I press Ctrl+D to end message , it is nowhere to be seen ! Has it gone to any outbox ? 2) Is there any linkage between fetchmail and pine ? If there is no concept of an outbox as in Outlook Express , then maybe , I will have to reconnect before the Ctrl+D. 3)Using fetchmail , how can you view attchments as files ? Well I am a novice at this stuff anyway. Warm Regards, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Shyam
