I didn't follow this. Where are you running mutt? If you're running it on the local machine with IMAP, you have to download the attachments anyway, right? Seems like the only thing you have to worry about is setting up the mime/mailcap stuff (which I suck at), and you can view the attachments just by selecting them. Urlview works great for selecting and showing the web addresses. > > It also does not make a very good impression to the casual observer > in an office or cyber cafe as to the capabilities of Linux and I would > like to try a different approach to email such as a GUI browser but I have > tried many over the years and they all just suck when it comes to actually > managing a lot of email. I have the same reaction. I've chosen the more powerful tools, but so many people are only satisfied with eye-candy. Balsa was _supposed_ to be a GUI version of mutt, but it never included the best features (or even some of my required ones). I suppose I should look again to see if it has been improved. syntaxman -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
