Mutt[1] will enable you to real mail with threads (as I do) nicely. It | has very good PGP and MIME support. | It is not an X11 program though. To throw my 2 cents in... I'm using ELM's filter instead of procmail. Much nicer filter file syntax, through procmails is more flexible. procmail is more stable as well -- will probably convert over to that when we upgrade out mail machine here. Using ELM to read threaded mail. Just change the sort order to By Subject whenever I pull up one of my freebsd mail folders (e.g =fbsdcurr.ml.new), but it works fine. Will eventually convert to mutt -- lots of nice features (color highlighting, better MIME attachments, better PGP support, etc.). Was somewhat unstable though when I tried it a few weeks back, but its coming along fast. Randall Hopper rhh@ct.picker.com
