Thanks a lot Earl for your very good suggestion ! 2 last questions : - how can I do in order to be able to display mhonarc output as a standard email : From: To: Subject: Date: <BODY> Do I need to parse mhonarc output or is there a way to configure mhonarc to do that directly ? Of course, when I say mhonarc output, I mean in reality HTML->text output but since it depends on mhonarc output... - anybody has a HTML->text translator to suggest instead of lynx in order to take input from stdin ? Thanks in advance for your help.
