(I guess I've > outgrown Pine. :) Unfortunately, mutt doesn't support SMTP, which I need I keep looking at mutt every few months and though I'm getting better with it I find it needs to catch up with pine in terms of sanity. j or Down next-entry move to the next entry k or Up previous-entry move to the previous entry ^N next-thread jump to the start of the next thread ^P previous-thread jump to the start of the previous thread Which framework do they want to use? Granted, it's highly configurable, so I have to opportunity to get very intimate with it and get what I want, but the defaults just seem wierd. German support's pretty good, though :). How does one get it to default to the mail dir for looking for folders, e.g. for saving or changing folder, w/o having to use + or =? That 'feature' is massively aggravating. I could change $HOME for mutt, but I want folder activity to default to ~/mail and file activity to default to ~. Makes sense to me :). > to use in order to send mail. How's it sending mail, then?

If not, are there any other utils I should try? I'd think that should be done via sendmail. You use debian, right? Set up exim via eximconfig and you should be set. Just did an smpt test and it worked out of the box, so I'll take that as proof I'm right ;-). -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # Magic is science unexplained. - der.hans
