It has e-mail address auto-complete, along with a slew of other features.

The one thing I've noticed is that most Unix mailers don't seem to have automatic filing and the like. VM can be made to do it, but it's ugly. The reason for this is that Unix systems usually provide procmail or a similar mechanism that does this externally. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
