Thanks I hadn't thought of that.  I am not concerned at the moment with 
offline access, but will keep it in mind, but I do like the idea of 
choosing your viewer.

At the moment I am giving mutt a try, and so far have been successful with
a few glitches in sending mail (the from field is a mess) and the 
reply-to.  I am trying to fix that now.....
