11/19 I remember someone on here saying that pine is a crappy mail
program. What mail program would you guys recomend?
-joesal
\_ if you are female, nmh
\_ Female? What's that have to do with it?
\_ It has *everything* to do with it.
\_ Such as?
\_ nothing. he's being random.
\_Sorry but i am male. Now whats a good mail program?
\_ why does someone remove mh+procmail responses? too political? hah!
you all fear the superior mail handling system!
\_ so you really want a good male program... elm/mh/mh-e
\_ he said he wanted a good mail program. there are no
good male programs here.
\_ What about 'man'?
\_ as if anyone uses that.
\_ If you're still overcoming pine withdrawal, try mutt. If you're
ready to move onto something smaller and simpler and you're
used to vi (unlikely if you used pine), then try elm. It's
quite good once configured properly, and the version on soda
has all the exciting patches to make it do mime and pgp shit
--dbushong
\_ this is absurd. mutt is 500K--that's tiny these days.
and it works better and is easier to use than elm. -tom
\_ mh is effectively zero. it works better and is more powerful
than mutt.
\_ Pfft. How much of this 500K is WORTHLESS CURSOR POSITION
CODE AND HELPSCREENS!?
\_ What if I prefer VIM -- is there an elm-improved?
\_ just setenv EDITOR to whatever is right ofor you.
\_ That's not what I mean. I mean that the elm interface
is a bit clunky, and I was wondering if there was a
program like elm, but with a slightly better interface.
\_ yes. It's called mutt. -tom
\_ then you obviously havent fully explored the power of ex/ed
\_ /bin/cat!!!
\_ Not every female thinks that cat is a good substitute for
mail.
\_ what about a male cat?
\_ It's called mcat
\_ thats a different sort of test.
\_ Then there is no hope for you.
\_ hope: Command not found. Hmm, yeah you're right.
\_ and if you're ready to truly take charge of your mail handling and
you can rtfm, you want mh+procmail. |
