When you say 'remote emacs', are you referring to an X session, or a terminal session? If you're referring to the latter, short of switching back to BSD mail(1), I doubt you can get that much speed improvement. If you just want to try a different terminal-based client (which won't be much better than terminal-based emacs in terms of bytes-over-the-wire), I recommend mutt. I used to use it before I switched to Gnus. It's a full-featured, quick curses-based client. Only downside to it is that you have to boot up emacs every time you change a message. (Admittedly, it's possible to avoid this, either by using vi, or by pulling some tricks with ansi-term and emacsserver.) Best, --Joe -- Joseph Barillari -- http://barillari.org
