X-Mailer: Balsa 1.1.4 I figured balsa would be able to read from a pipe as pine does. Don't see that listed as a feature and don't see it in the FAQ, so you'll probably need to resort to a name fifo as Nick suggested. BTW, while rummaging through the FAQ they mentioned something about being in the GUI. Does that mean there's a way to not be in the GUI with balsa? Specifically, is there a text-only mode? ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.YourCompanyHere.net ;-) # Motorraeder toeten nicht. Motorraeder werden getoetet.
