I used Pine when I only had a shell account, and found it to be an excellent mail-reader.. After I got a PPP account I found that most mail programs paled in comparison, so I kept using Pine, and after a while I got a program for Amiga called Voodoo, which was just like Pine, really.. Now I use something called YAM which lets me have a seperate folder just for IDM mail! (ie. better than Pine), and it keeps my PPP line up 24 hours a day by fooling the auto-idle checking script. HAH! oh btw.. Vi isn't a mail program, it's an editor.. heh I used to be on a system that had _ElVis_, the Vi clone :D .. if you sent some msg that bounced back, you'd get some text signed by The King (really says that) :) __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ , m7=
