My provider is more MessyDOS/Windoze oriented and has set up a popmail server in his network. I'd like to find a popmail client to retrieve my mail and put it in /var/spool/mail/chris so that I can use elm or pine to read it on my home box. No, but I use MH for all my local mail. You might just try using MH for everything for awhile and see if you like it. It's quite different from the elm/pine paradigm, but I think it's about one of the best mail-handling systems out there. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
