gnus is indeed a very good option, since i already spend most of my time inside (x)emacs's many buffers. i'll check it out once i get mutt working to my satisfaction. which leads me to the last remaining problem with mutt - i want it to show new mail which arrives to the spool file *immediately* when it arrives. right now, it only shows it when i press a key. rtfm'ing has been less than useful, and i have 'set mail_check=1' in my .muttrc. ideas? -- mulix http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/ http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
