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). > Got a problem with that Mr. Dill? 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?
