Doing email
through a shell account was pretty painful, with the slow serial
link handlers that UNIX shell accounts offered. The Windows-based email
handlers embedded in Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc, or Eudora, which was
separate, were all MUCH easier and quicker to deal with.
Maybe Pine sucked over a serial line, but Elm is much less termcap-spendy. I
still use Elm to read my E-mail. Man was meant to read mail on-spool.
