Apologies!



I'm a pine man myself. Unfortunately the corporate world isn't very
accommodating ;(. The original post was asking for a way to access Exchange
servers under Linux.

To continue beating a dead horse, Exchange can also act as a POP server.

The best solution I've come up with (and I've yet to do it at my current
job) is to forward mail from my exchange mailbox to an environment that I'm
comfortable with. Usually a box running imapd so I can get at my mail with
Pine.

Most of the world uses sendmail, not exchange.  Sendmail doesn't care
what the format of a message is: it'll deliver just about anything.
And most of us are quite happy with our non-HTML mail clients.

Gee, maybe I can get Eric Allman to include in the default sendmail.cf 
a configuration where messages with only text/plain and text/html are
bounced with a nasty message.  I already do this for any email with a
Word .doc attachment.
