Phew. ;o} Let me be the first then :-) Seriously, netscape is barely useful in its real role as a web browser and is completely unsuited to taking on other tasks on top of that. Why "struggle" with it when Unix systems have a plethora of *good* mail user agents, all of which allow you to use the editor of your choice to do the serious part of the job while providing a range of configurable options to control the way the mail is handled. Sure, you have to learn how to use these things, but that's true of anything that's worth using. And you already know how to use your editor, so that frees you from learning that part. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
