Will: Netscape is available for Linux. $29, http://www.netscape.com/download/noframes_1_3.html#info. Probably a whole bunch of other nice, fat, swollen, GUI, S/MIME e-mail/browsers are too. Come on in. I did Mail for all those years - still do mailx as sys admin on some of my boxes. And it was pretty hilarious to use Mail while doing GUI programming on Sun and Mac myself. Of course, I couldn't use mailtool, because my mailbox was on a different machine, and I had no idea how to talk the sysops at school But now that we don't have to - why? I apologize for sending an HTML message without a ASCII version. It was an accident on my part. The personnel responsible have been taken out and shot. But in the spirit of the RFCs, please be strict in what you send out, and liberal in what you accept. Wrolf marguin@ii*.ii*.co* wrote: > I am a user of Unix text based email as well.
