The remote machine doesn't have many (or any) utilities for reading mail. I want to avoid using POP3 because I access the mail from many places and don't want it left lying in each of those places (although I am curious what sort of pop3 clients are available on FreeBSD). If you can telnet to the machine with mail on it, install a mail client on that machine like Pine or elm. And use them over telnet. This will proberbly be the safest and easiest bet. > Many thanks for any pointers. > Regards, Lee.
