If you use netscape as your mail client, you probably don't need all this. However, if you use some other mail client that does *not* support SMTP/POP you definitely need it. The one client that comes to mind is 'mutt'. Check it out - although it's not X11-based it has some features you cannot find elsewhere. Oh, just one more thing: mutt does not do filtering (yes, I know netscape does). You need 'procmail' for that. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't. -- Nimrod. http://www.geocities.com/rodd_27 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
