 It's better to install a MTA, like `exim', `postfix', or `sendmail'.
 You can set it up so it doesn't accept connections from the net if
 you like.

 I didn't like Netscrape for mail - it word wraps in the wrong places
 and to put mail in separate folders you've either got to monkey
 around with `procmail' or endlessly drag and drop from Inbox to your
 sort folders.

 Go with `gnus' if you've got a lot of mail, and with `vm' if you've
 got not too much.  Both work very well in XEmacs, the finest text
 editor on the planet.  (soon to have gtk widgetry!)
