But what speaks against my solution? mailx allows you to pass mails through filters, allows you to call external editors with ~e and ~v. And that should be enough to read and write mails with mime, to use pgp, etc, if you have the appropriate external programs. On the other side, if you begin adding mime, the you should follow adding pgp, etc, and the we have another inflated mail program. I think, people that do not use mailx, do it, because they like other programs. Inflating mailx will not bring them to use it. And the external programs are also usefull iin other contexts for everybody. Rodrigo.
