I found it a major annoyance, but maybe I just receive a lot more mail than you do. To me, also, there was the basic question, why do I need two different mail clients? Aside from the lack of point-and-click to select messages, mutt has a pretty decent UI, and it's customizable enough that I was able to work around the things that annoyed me the most about it. So now I just use mutt. > Of course migrating to Sylpheed means converting your mailboxes into > MH format, and modifying your procmail scripts to use rcvstore. Procmail understands MH format, so why do you need rcvstore? Craig
