Thanks, everybody, for all the help!!! I finally got the darned thing working...I put the mda bit Dan suggested above, fiddled with my filters a bit to get things going (not quite regex, apparently) with some tests, and it appears to be working correctly. I may be back eventually, with some customization questions, esp stuff like better editor than vi, colors, etc... probably will do some RTFM'ing first, tho to avoid silly questions. Thanks again. I needed a faster email client I could use remotely. Stuff like Spruce and Sylpheed work with X forwarding, but sometimes that can be painfully slow, esp. when you are worried about the boss coming up behind you at work...the X clients also (all the ones I tried, anyway) seem to core dump quite frequently, and at the worst times.
