On most Unix systems there is a Mail program. However, I didn't find one in the Debian tree. Is there one? My host's not completely converted so I don't know exactly. There are several scripts that use this program. How about adding Mail as a link to mail? Michael -- Michael Meskes Lehrstuhl fuer angewandte Mathematik insb.
