Hello Again,
Many thanks for the kind replies from Adrian, Buddha, Dima and Igor.
It's so helpful to have people available that have the knowledge and
information one needs. I appreciate your time and effort.
Yes Igor, I turned off html in my outgoing messages. Please advise if
there is still a problem there.
Well, it turns out that there is a new POP3 compliant X package that
does everything I need to do: fetches POP3 messages from the ISP, sends
outgoing messages, makes user-defined folders, uses a really neat mail
reader, composes outgoing messages, is eminently configurable, plus does
other stuff that I'm exploring. The executable is a static binary.
What I like is that it is one package and does not require other
supporting packages. It's currently in beta but seems to be fairly
stable. This is a work-in-progress with other features to be added.
Anyhow, it's called XCmail and is available from sunsite. The file name
is XCmail-0.9-Linux-bin.tar.gz. I don't know if the authors would agree
to GNU licensing or not.
I stuck it in /usr/local/xcmail with a soft link to the /usr/X11R6/bin
directory for executing it.
