My reason for switching to a text based mail client (from gmail) was that i had to use 32kbps internet for a while. Loading gmail was a pain, and looking for options, i found alpine and mutt. Now, text interfaces are my preference, firstly because my computer is an old p4 with 1 gig of ram. And secondly, they fit nicely into tmux (earlier screen). -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
