I am running version 3.5 on my 7300. I am stuck with System V mail and rmail. Yukk!!! I am considering something better. How about mailx? How about PMX term? Could somebody give me a recommendation? I know about ELM, I have scanned the user's guide. ELM looks to fat for my purposes, will cost me alot to dowload, and looks like a vi type interface. What are my other alternatives? My mail user agent wish list: 1. emacs style screen oriented user interface. 2. Replying to messages and including the original message. 3. Folders. 4. Directory of messages by subject. 5. search folder by subject or content. 6. expire, etc. Anybody ever use DEC's VMS allin1? Or DECmail? That's something like what I want. How does the code look for ELM? Is it clean? What's going on in the ELM newsgroup? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dave Arnold UUCP: ...!seismo!uunet!arnold!dave

ELM is now undergoing a beta test for the next release. It works fine on SYS 5 systems, but there were some major problems with BSD systems. It is a large system -- the sources take up about 1Megabyte. If you are interested, wait until the beta testing is complete before you get it. -- Ted H.
