Ah? What do you mean imap is plain text? IMAP is just a protocol for remote access to mail messages (IMAP="Internet Message Access Protocol"). These mail messages might contain pictures/sounds/ video/whatever (i.e., MIME), and you can view them on a graphical client (e.g., Mozilla which has excellent IMAP support). > mulix, a mail junky. I use mutt too, by the way. It has no problems readying a 1000-mail folder, but it still takes quite a few seconds (because the folder is a sequencial file that needs to be read entirely - there's no "index" associated with the standard Unix mbox format). Replacing pine by mutt is no substitute to cleaning up your folders (or splitting them up) once in a while :) -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Feb 24 2002, 12 Adar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Quitters never win.
