There's always NFS and X ;-) I run fetchmail -> procmail on my firewall (my personal server only!) and NFS mount the mail directory from my laptop. Of course, then there are issues outside the firewall. I can SSH into my firewall & run exmh on the firewall if I have X on my remote system. Works if your firewall is always on & you have enough bandwidth (cable modem, 802.11b internally). Of course, I'd like to have IMAP access to my MH folders too. If wishes were fishes.... I probably wouldn't like the restrictions. ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
