Requires some time to configure the first time, but after that it has everything I want and more. You can even retain the pine key bindings (for the most part) if you're used to them. It's extremely configurable -- you can set your headers, signature, reply address, saved-mail folder, etc etc based on a variety of criteria. It also watches multiple mailboxes and has good threaded display. And more, but these are the features which made me switch from pine (though I've heard these days pine supports a lot of this too). Works best in conjunction with procmail (the multiple mail folder stuff I mean). - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
