This sounds even better, have a section on mail clients and describe some of the more common ones (mutt, pine, sylpheed) so that users can get up and running with email fast. Originally, I was thinking about a text based and a menu based section, which would describe mutt for text based and sylpheed for menu. Any suggestions? Note: I really do not want to get in depth with many clients, it would become to difficult to maintain. > > - jim > > -- > jim mock jim@FreeBSD.org > -- Tom (Darklogik) Rhodes www.FreeBSD.org -The Power To Serve www.Pittgoth.com -Pittgoth Discussion Portal trhodes@{Pittgoth.com, FreeBSD.org} PGP key by www: http://www.pittgoth.com/~darklogik/darklogik.key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
