To add to the "meta operating system" comment - there are also MUA's in emacs that interact with mh (the emacs of MUAs), and a very advanced one called VM. Which - if any - are bundled with your emacs will depend on the distribution. Personally, I use VM, the qmail redirection facilities, and fetchmail.But I wouldn't advice anyone to look at the emacs mail readers unless they were already using emacs. However, this question has as deep a religious character as the question about "best editor", and is best left that way. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
