Thanks all for the suggestions. I will, I gather, have to run it under X.
The MUA is _definitely_ not going to be pine. Been there. It's not
going to be mutt if I can help it. Been there too. It's like having
vim as your mail reader. Nothing wrong, just don't like. I know all
the keystrokes, etc. I just want to forget them :-D. I dislike the
gmail interface also. It does unpredictable things at times. The
address book is good, I must admit.
I have grabbed Sylpheed, am certainly going to look at getmail, and
we'll go quiet until I run into trouble again. Thanks for all
suggestions offered.
