Re: Which mail user agent do you use?

2001-11-21 Thread David Harrigan
I use mutt in an office environment that is run by M$. Mutt handles attachments (such as word docs etc..) very well - it just decodes the stream, then pressing 'v' allows you to 'view' the file then 's' to save the file to your hd somewhere...all in all, I'm very happy with mutt also... -=
