Shame, it's been a good mail client on XP. A number of years ago (probably about 10) I exchanged some email with David Harris on this. When I moved from Windows to Linux as my primary desktop platform, I used exmh, then converted to sylpheed, then sylpheed-claws, then claws-mail. (Claws was at one time an extension of sylpheed). Claws-mail is available on both Linux and Windows, and is very light weight. At the time I moved my email to Linux, I was dual booting, and I wrote a C program to convert the Pegasus mail format files (at that time Pegasus used its own format) to mh (mh uses a directory structure as folders with 1 message per file). -- -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
