I run pine in an xterm since I learned it relatively well at work. Unlike my system at work, pine on my home system has usable nested folders. I think this is an artifact of my using a shell with command completion (tcsh in my case.) To clarify, I can create a mailbox ~/mail/family/sister then get to it relatively quickly without browsing by going g fa si FWIW, I run pine on my gateway machine and telnet in from whatever other machine I happen to be on (or more accuratly, which OS I am booted into. FreeBSD about 99.5% of the time now, I'm happy to report.) Initially I did things that way because I was having trouble figuring out the complexities of networked mail (still am actually.) After a time, I realized the utility of doing things that way. *For me* this advantage overpowers the nice features that Netscape has. This is a mute point if one is using a stand-alone machine of course. -Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
