There's no need to set up separate accounts in order to have Pine read several incoming mailboxes. Instead, you need procmail. That will slice and dice your incoming mail to your heart's desire--the entire message can serve as the grist of your filtering rules, if you like. The output can be sorted into separate folders as you like, or piped to /dev/null for those pesky folks that send junk mail. You can even group your mail folders in directories, if that's helpful -- e.g. I have several web related folders inside a ~mail/web directory and several unix related folders under a ~mail/unix directory. Once you launch Pine you can use the $ directive to resort on the fly for viewing by something other than your default sort order. You can also define multiple personalities under Pine 4.21. So, you're in good shape. There's just not much of anything you can do in Eudora that you can't do even better under Linux with procmail and Pine. PS: This includes taking mail on the road with your notebook computer. You can have responses cued in a send folder ready to be transm9itted the next time you connect your portable to the net. For this you'll want fetchmail, though, and not sendmail or qmail. Janina Sajka, Director Information Systems Research & Development American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) janina at afb.net
