<OT> After trying lots of GUI mail clients, I find pine more than adequate. It's fast, configurable, and stable. In combination with fetchmail, and procmail, it enables me to quickly handle hundreds of messages daily. I'm a keyboard type, so I find it a lot faster to use shortcut keys than to keep reaching for the mouse. Mutt also has these advantages, but pine has an easier learning curve for newbies, so I learned it first. It may not be as powerful as mutt, but it's Good Enough. </OT> I found pgp4pine <http://pgp4pine.flatline.de/> to be a really good way to use GnuPG or PGP with pine. Tony - -- Anthony E.
