Similarly for an 'old-style' mail reader I use alpine (ports/mail/alpine) or build re-alpine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-alpine/ from scratch. I also quite like claws-mail as a graphical mail reader. Also sylpheed (ports/mail/sylpheed) from which claws-mail is a development. If you want to go wierder, the linux graphical mail reader mulberry: http://www.mulberrymail.com/ works well under linux emulation. Although you'll need to augment the linux emulation with the linux rpm openssl-0.9.8b-8.i386.rpm to get the secure connection stuff. -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK d.h.da...@bath.ac.uk Phone: +44 1225 386101
