The files you downloaded are simply Unix mailbox folders. All the messages are contained in a plain text file one after the other. Use any other mailer you like if mutt is confusing. For instance, pine can do the same with: $ pine -i -f /d/mail/freebsd-questions/2004-09.txt This should list an index of all the mail messages. The same of course is what would happen with Kris' suggestion: $ mutt -f /d/mail/freebsd-questions/2004-09.txt If you like using some other mailer, try "importing" the messages or pointing the mailer to the mailbox file. Most mailers that run on UNIX can read mailbox folders fine: Netscape Mail, Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird, Kmail, Evolution, etc. - Giorgos
