In fact, I don't even like the overhead of PPP, so I tend to just use Kermit from my home SPARC and browse through what I want to respond to offline. Then I save a bunch of messages as BABYL files and read it all in an nndoc group in my local Gnus. I have severly twisted message.el so it delivers outgoing mail to a special file which I later upload and run. It's a shell script, really, that delivers all my replies, which are buried inside it. > Actually, I'm probably going to switch to imap soon, but I don't like > th server's I've played with so far... Neither do I. When I started hacking some on nnimap, I constantly ran my head into the UofW IMAP server. Gaaah! I had a look at the Cyrus server ages ago, but people tell me it's better now. Perhaps I'll have another look. I've had plans of writing my own IMAP server a long time now. I've been thinking about things such as a IMAP frontend for INN or something. Anyone want to help out? -- RFC 822: MC RFC 1738/2396: GSM: +46 707 59 14 24 ICBM: ~58°23'53'' N, 15°34'50'' E
