Whilst I'm writing to the list, I thought I'd better ask this as well, since at the moment I'm using good old Outlook Express as my mail client and I know how popular that is here :) with its penchant for forming one line per paragraph, irrespective of how one configures it. It's a hundred years since I used a UNIX mail client in anger, and I wasn't very angry even then. The two I remember the names of are elm and pine but which was which and how comfortable they were to use I can't remember. Without wishing to start a religious war, is there any clear recommendation on which mail client a greenhorn should choose first. I haven't got the X system fully configured yet so we're talking cli here.
