Well, I'm actually using Evolution running on Debian Linux with XFCE 4.2 running the desktop bit on top of XFree86 :) I would say that I usually use Mutt running in a console, but circumstances have left me in a GUI mail client for the past few months. I've two particular interests in getting a modern Mac up and running (apart from sheer curiosity!) 1. I have customers that use it, so I need to get more familiar to make support easier (and be able to get more that use it as it looks far nicer to work with than Windows), 2. I'm more than a tad curious about the BSD/Darwin/*nix roots to the OS given my background in the Linux world. Who knows, I may end up Mac on my workstation and Linux on the server :) Checking my configuration I am set to plain text email rather than HTML, but ISO-8859-15 is the default. I'll have to check up and see what the significance of this is before changing it. ISO-8859-1 is listed as Western European, whereas ISO-8859-15 is listed as Western European New. It may be the mailing list software hasn't been configured to accept the newer standard, but I've not read up on things recently. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
