Hello Alain, and everyone who responded -
Thanks so very much for your help and suggestions. I am using postfix
with mutt. (I wonder if using postfix on a single-user machine is like
swatting flies with a hand grenade?) I gather the fetchmail/getmail
conflict compares to the vim/emacs one?
mutt -f pop://username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ is very handy! (though it
doesn't do everything I want, which is download the smaller messages now
and the larger ones later, when I have more time)
This all gives me more to study and learn and practice. :\
