Somebody scribbled about [newbie] Eleven days...some thoughts
>It's now been eleven days since I installed Mandrake, and I'd like to

Way cool :).

What fire? I live in an apartment! I'm sure there's a GL fireplace app out 
there somewhere though ...

(grin)

I've never used "the Bat" so I don't know what you're missing with the 
other email clients that are available for Linux. Personally I use kmail, 
or if I want to send something quickly, I can use 'mail' or 'elm' from 
the command line. elm is strictly command line (or text console oriented) 
but it's *fast* and after 7 odd years of using it, the keystrokes for it 
(and vi) are rather ingrained into my finger tips.

I've heard from other users on this list that sylpheed and evolution are 
quite nice for doing email. I tried evolution once, didn't really like it 
and haven't tried sylpheed (or is it sylpheed-claws)?

I've never seen delphi but somehow it reminds me of visual basic or 
somesuch :).

What are you looking for? In other words, what does the bat got that 
evolution, kmail, sylpheed-claws, Mozilla Mail (yuchhh) :) or whetever 
else is out there hasn't got?
