This is tangential, but you do realize AIM works with AOL users, even if
you don't subscribe to AOL? I'm on AIM all the time...and I talk to my
parents, who use AOL (via TCP/IP, dialed up to Xecunet) all the time.

Plus, you still aren't telling me how using windows for a desktop locks
you into using AOL...it's fine that you prefer AOL mail, it's just that
most unix gurus prefer the flexibility of procmail, and have been reading
email for so many years that pine/elm/mutt are preffered, just because
that's what they have been using for the last six or seven years (at
least).

I think you misunderstand; I think your email address is hilarious. I have
no problem you, the person, Mr. BSDGuru. Just your hideously funny email
address.

Although, I do question your degree of guruness.

Anybody can call themselves a guru; the thing is, the real gurus usually
don't.

Comprennez-vous?

Andy
