You're quite welcome :)

It took me about 6 months of harassment from a friend to actually migrate
over from using Pine (I'm lazy, and didn't want to a lot of work).
It turned out that the migration was relatively painless, and as with all
applications, I only used the few that were obvious to me right away. Over
time I've gone through the docs and hung out on the exmh-users mailing list
and learned a tremendous amount about the system. I will never go back :)
At some point I'll probably give a GNHLUG talk on getting started with exmh :)

Glimpse works great with exmh as well. Unfortunately the license has changed
and it is no longer free, even for non-commercial use. You must therefore
find an old copy of it somewhere and use that.
I used to use it extensively, but I haven't needed it lately. If I ever get
the urge, I may grab it and install it again :)
