[PLUG] E-Mail Question

[Ramkumar Natarajan]

Hi,
If you are like me and like good ole pine for most of ur work (who wants 
those buggy email clients that spread viruses anyways? :-), try tkrat:
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~maf/ratatosk/

It is an excellent gui to a somewhat pine style client (though it is much 
more than pine)
Some of the ultra-cool features include:
- Ability to watch multiple folders (if you use procmailrc filters to put 
mails into different filters)
- Ability to access all your mail accounts thru virtual folders (pop/imap 
etc.)

once you get the hang of virtual folders, you'll never want to go back to 
any other client.

potential drawback(s):
- send mail out with diff ids and/or smtp hosts might be sticky/tricky
- doesnt render html, click-thru urls (http://xxx form) work fine.
- getting the right version of tcl/tk on ur system to get it running (and 
not break existing tcl/tk apps :-)

let me know if u (try and) have trouble configuring it
-nrk.
