'm trying to use Xfmail to read and send my e-mail, but I encoutered some
problems:

1- When I'm writing e-mail, the text of the message does not wrap around when
it reaches 80 columns. Moreover, if I hit return to break the line, before
the e-mail is sent it gets justified to 80 columns and gets all truncated.

2- When I use the external editor (xedit) to write or edit big messages the
programs kind of freezes when the message is sent. The cursor turns into the
little watch and I have to kill the process to get rid of the program.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Or does anyone know any other
e-mail program for X? I'd like to use something that has more visual appeal
than elm or pine.

thanks for any suggestions or help.
