Gnus Network User Services http://gnus.org/ "Gnus is a message-reading laboratory. It will let you look at just about anything as if it were a newsgroup. You can read mail with it, you can browse directories with it, you can ftp with it -- you can even read news with it!" This is an emacs mode that is probably one of the most powerful and versatile message readers of all time. ;-) I don't use it, because I'm cursed with vi-fingers, though I'm working on changing that. (Emacs in viper mode for editing). In any case, it does NNTP, IMAP, and understands most (all?) of your local mailbox formats. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
