I used it for a few months when I first started with FreeBSD but never liked it enough to find out more about it. Within a few minutes of finding Mutt, I was hooked and I've never moved to anything else. But does Pine really compare to Mutt in terms of features? (Perhaps I should have put "compared to Mutt" on the end of my last sentence above.) I can't see anything in Pine's setup menu which correspond to Mutt's send-hook or save-hook features for example (unless you want to correct me). -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
