For MS Windows, I use FreeAgent. It has the advantage over MS Outlook that you can *not* get any of these VBA-based (VBA = Visual Basic for Applications, integrated into many MS products as a macro language) virus emails that are popping up. I think (don't know for sure) that Netscape Messenger also has that advantage. No clue for X on Linux, sorry. In command-line (not X) mode, I have used tin. When/if Netscape Messenger is ported, that might also be an option, though it isn't there yet. HTH. ---------------------------------------------------- Peter J.
