[02] WHAT MAIL PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE HERE?
|
|
|
|
There are SO MANY mail readers, its unbelievable. Many share
|
|
the same functionality, interface and commands .. pointless!!
|
|
|
|
mailx System 7 standard mail client. Very minimal, but
|
|
quick and useful. You could use it from a teletype.
|
|
|
|
rmail (emacs -f rmail) East Coast mail / babyl reader
|
|
|
|
pine West Coast mail reader. Actually incorporates MM
|
|
(from TOPS-20) as its core, though you'd probably
|
|
never know that. Slow, but user friendly.
|
|
|
|
alpine A complete recode of pine. Supposed to fix all of
|
|
pines problems but probably just makes new ones.
|
|
|
|
nail A very simple mail reader and processor.
|
|
|
|
elm A simple and easy mail reader. Though, has a tendancy
|
|
to barf on MIME encoded attachments.
|
|
|
|
mutt A stripped down version of elm, but with better
|
|
support for MIME encoded attachments.
|
|
|
|
pop3 your POP3 mail server is 'mx.sdf.org'
|
|
(NOTE, there is no SMTP support here, no relaying
|
|
from unknown and non-local networks).
|
|
|
|
procmail this can be used for filtering incoming mail and
|
|
doing what you will with it. fairly powerful.
