Tried it. It's great. In some ways better than alpine. Having one problem with it. When installed in debian lenny on my desktop box and on ubuntu hardy on my laptop it's fine. Hiting "c" shows the default mailbox to open as the next one with new mail. Better than alpine. Installed on ubuntu hardy, also on my desktop box, hitting "c" causes it to ask what mailbox to open and I have to bring up the list and scroll down to the one I want. Why the difference between ubuntu on the two different computers is driving me nuts. The ~/,muttrc file is the same on all three, having been copied via a flash drive. Any ideas? Thanks for the great tip. -- Bob Holtzman Key ID: 8D549279 "If you think you're getting free lunch, check the price of the beer"
