Sounds like me.
but I have failed to overcome the geekiness of it every time.
I set up my fetchmail/procmail/(al)?pine pipe so long ago... I may
have forgotten how..
I think I learnt from the fetchmailex man page... except fetchmail is now
recommending maildrop instead of procmail.
I have recently started regularly using a Linux shell-server, so I am using
the command line for more and more, and I would really like to ditch
graphical mail-readers (especially as I always turn HTML off, so there will
be no loss there).
Could that person, if they still be reading this list, or another Alpine
user, help me get acquainted with this mysterious mail reader?
Fire away with some concrete questions... if I know the answer I'll
reply, if I don't... hopefully someone else on the list will.
