Well Pine does not support PGP and is curses based try convincing someone who has a nice X interface such as in exmh into using Pine. Well, okay forget about my preferences think about it as a newbie who comes into FreeBSD and is used to MS/Window's mailers . > > services provide IMAP servers?

It works almost like magic. :) exmh does this and here is my config file for doing so: inbox netcom14.netcom.com hasty MyIncTmp shell.best.com hasty Thats just a simple hack which added to exmh to read my mail remote. Additionally, I use .maildelivery to sort out my mail when exmh retrieves my mail remotely. exmh has a prefences options menu which allows you to set your options like how often to retrieve mail from my remote hosts. At a glance, I can tell which folders have unread mail > - a newsreader ( suggestions? ) > This should also be possible offline. Also > posting offline. I now use netscape as my newsreader I used to use emacs however netscape looks much nicer. Amancio
