The following week I'd read that there was some early releases of this that were tested and the folks looking at it were very impressed. I don't know if that says much, but at least it's out there and Netscape is aware of it. While I'm at it, I emailed Qualcomm quite awhile back almost begging for a port of Eudora to X. I never got a response. When I switched desktops completely from Win95 to FreeBSD that was one the things I missed the most. In the mean time pine and procmail have become much closer friends than before :-) Joseph Scott jmscott@ainet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
