Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 16 Feb 1998 04:26:24 -0800 From: Mike Smith Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG G'day mail reading fiends. I find myself in an interesting position, and would like to discuss possible techniques for dealing with it. The situation is such that I wish to manage the bulk of my mail from a single login on a single system, mostly for portability (being a laptop) and centralisation. However, I have a number of different contact addresses, and want to retain the individuality of these, ie. mail to one should be answered as thought it had come from that one, rather than having everything effectively forwarded to a single mailbox. To aid in this process, I obviously need tools that understand the situation. I'd prefer not to go for the multiple-login approach, as that makes it difficult to simultaneously watch multiple mailboxes as well as requiring multiple copies of the reader.
