In fact, that's it's chief selling point. The downside of mutt is that it has a rather steep learning curve, but that only lasts a lil while, and it doesn't have built in filtering; you have to filter your mail on the server side, or with a program like procmail. Some might say you can't read html and see pictures inline, but I think that's a plus! :) Terry -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
