Today's Exciting Acquisition & Microvax 3100 Question

ELM is a mailer for Unix. It's similar to Pine (in fact, Pine stands for Pine is Not Elm) but without the uncessary (imho) features. It has - or used ot have, I think they may have been split off into a seperate product now - a system to filter mail upon reception, handles multiple mailbox files, does NOT handle mime except to write it out as files (which is all that is really useful to do with them, IMHO) and calls the editor of your choice. I use ELM for the vast majority of my e-mail, the exceptions being at work where I have to use Microsoft Virus Transfer Protocol (outlook) and at home when I get a message with a mime attachment, when I just leave the message in the inbox and suck it down onto my BeOS machine in Postmaster. Elm was written by (if memory serves) Dave Taylor of HP. It could have been an HP product, but HP passed and he released it to the world. The most recent release I'm aware of was to patch the y2k issues ELM had. If you'd like an ELM screenshot, mail me offline and I'll send you one when I get home. -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BeOS Powered! -----------------------------------------------------------------------
