Yes, TheBat! and Becky! are very similar (I mean, come on, check out the names <bg>). TB! is written by some ru guys (I believe it's ru) and Becky! is written by a jp guy. One thing I wish Mutt had, that The Bat! has, is a template system. In other words: Hi %UCFirst="%OFromFName", On %OLongDate, %OFromFName wrote: %Wrapped='%Quotes' %Cursor %Cookie="~/fortune" That used "macros" (not really the same as Mutt macros). But then again, using external editors and all, I have no idea on that one. I just think it's a nice feature (the built-in macro list is huge, but darned useful). That kind of thing saves one a lot of time. I'll bet this can already be done in Mutt, right? > > I'd have to figure out how to patch a source deb and rebuild it.

You're not going to believe this, but I just dist-upgraded and 1.3.24i was provided. So I upgraded and it already has pgp_outlook_compat. :-$ (I suppose I'm not entirely off-topic :-)) -- -Brian Clark
