For example, it handles multipe incoming folders, and gives you a sum of the total unread messages properly. It can also change From address on a per folder basis (but easily allow you to override that per email) which is great when you read more than one inbox (eg work/home). I have heard people claim great things about Mutt, but it seems to take a while to configure, and I haven't been bothered trying to configure it since xfmail isn't that bad :) (And mutt doesn't look nice out of the box) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
