I can recommend you mutt-ng (mutt next generation, ports/mail/mutt-ng). I use Mutt-ng devel-r804 (based on Mutt 1.5.11/2005-09-15) now.

For cd-writing I use the burncd command, it comes with the cdrecord port. If you allready had some (gui) progam to burn cd's you can count on it you allready have cdrecord installed :) For IM-programs ( don't know if you use them ) you might want to check out irssi + bitlbee -- -Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Working at Console
Hi, I like cmus for playing mp3s on the console. It has an album view and an integrated library, so its feature set has many things in common with the "big" X11 music players. To play CDs from the command line, there is a tool named "cdplay" available. I prefer mutt for mail. For text processing, I like to use TeX, but you have to learn its syntax. There are extensions available for Emacs and vim (syntax highlighting).
