I'd need one mail reader for the mailing list and another one for my other job related activity. Not so easy looking at pictures over a terminal window ! And as a photograph and equipment buyer/seller/repair, I often send pictures to my customer and coworker. So it's not as easy when using the terminal. Would have been easier if I didn't get use to graphic environment mail software in the mid 2000s. But I keep in mind, maybe the best solution is not one but two software... > -- > John Doe > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
