I used Pine and some mailers under (X)Emacs previously. I liked VM under XEmacs because of its easy customizeability. But I have large mail boxes and VM becomes a real sloth with them. The single drawback of mutt, it runs an external editor for composing mail. But with vim or emacsclient/gnuclient as editors, it's almost unnoticeable. -- Mojahed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
