Hello, everyone, I am at a point to switch from /usr/ucb/mail to another "better" mail. Our system has both elm and mh installed and only a few people are using either of them. Before I embrace one of the two mailers, can you experts out there give me some evaluations about elm and mh ? I like to hear both pros and cons about the two mailers. To minimize the bandwidth, please reply by e-mail. And I'll post a summary if there is enough interest. In your evaluation, please pay attention to the following aspects: 0. philosophy 1. easiness to use( Xmh, Xelm ?) 2. flexibility( formating the mail ). interaction with other unix tool 3. mail filtering( slocal, filter) 4. which one are you using ? Why ? 5. other ... Thanks for your attention. --Jun -- -- Jun Lu Internet:luj@ecn.purdue.edu -- -- Aeronautics & Astronautics Bitnet: luj%ecn.purdue.edu@purccvm -- -- Purdue University UUCP: pur-ee!luj -- -- W.
