2/17 Is there any program compatiable with elm (in terms of mailbox files) and similar to it? I ask because elm's development has ceased and the version I have is not Y2K compliant. \_ mailprog -f yourmailfile don't forget to back it up \_ so is mutt the ultimate power mail prog or should I bother to look at pine? \_ mutt failed to annoy me. -- ilyas \_ mutt is a good mix of simplicity and power. It handles attachments better than any of the other text readers. -tom \_ mutt, elm, pine, etc... hardly the ultimate anything. nmh/procmail is the way tp go for power users. \_ elm development stopped? They just released 2.5 a month or two ago?!! \_ http://www.myxa.com/old/elm.html \_ page maintained by Syd Weinstein, "FORMER elm co-ordinator" [DAMN FUCKING ed users, here's the url again:] \_ I suggest mutt. It's got bindings much like elm's, alias support, better MIME support, supports POP and IMAP, and it's definitely under development. It tends to be faster at opening big mailboxes than elm, in my experience. Type "mutt" at your soda prompt, or point your browser at http://www.mutt.org -brg (Disclaimer: I have worked on mutt.) (I don't get why someone would delete this post...) \_ the CURRENT, STILL under development 2.5.3 version of elm can be gotten from ftp://ftp.virginia.edu/pub/elm/ CF: comp.mail.elm |

www.mutt.org Though written from scratch, Mutt's initial interface was based largely on the ELM mail client. To a large extent, Mutt is still very ELM-like in presentation of information in menus (and in fact, ELM users will find it quite painless to switch as the default key bindings are identical). Mutt was originally written by 28 Michael Elkins but is now developed and maintained by the members of the Mutt development 29 mailing list. |
