I've got Mozilla configured successfully - but it's a
bit silly to use such a big program for just sending a
mail I think so I thought maybe I can use pine or mail
...
I'd especially like to use pine because I really like
that prog but it doesn't handle smtp - so how should I
do this ?
Thanks in advance,
Joris
