I don't want to draw this out, but mutt is *so* much faster than any other front end that anyone who wants to get through a large volume of mail quickly really should check it out. It may be that there are some potential conflicts with other MH programs, as Ken says, but it's possibly to make rich use of both mutt and MH with no such conflicts.

I use fetchmail, procmail and rcvstore with no problems. Again, I'm using these in strictly single-threaded fashion. I'm either fetching mail or reading it, never both at the same time. > Do you not use custom sequences at all? If not, then it wouldn't be > an issue. I do most of my mail stuff in mutt, but do pipe messages to Perl scripts which invoke MH commands for various things. I also use MH/nmh directly from the command line sometimes, but I don't create sequences that I expect to persist for any length of time. For example, if I'm reading mail from the command line, I have aliases for going forward or backwards through the messages in a folder. Another shortcut allows me to add junk messages to a "garbage" sequence, which I can then delete when I'm done. But I don't need to preserve this sequence across multiple sessions. -pd -- ---- Peter Davis The Tech Curmudgeon www.techcurmudgeon.com _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
