I know that all these things are possible, however I have an application called 'festival' that reads documents for you, or reads from stdin. What I had hoped to do was 'read' my email (a brilliant application for the sight impaired I'm sure you'll all agree). My problem is that my mail client of choice (Evolution) only prints in Postscript format which results in festival spewing lots of '%%' and other punctuation marks. I've tried piping it through gs but the only real success I've had so far is cut 'n' paste or save as, neither of which are as easy to automate as Print. I realise my requirement is fairly specialist so if it's not to be then it's not to be. BTW I've just achieved exactly this requirement in 30 seconds using Pine. Thanks anyway, Jim _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
