I'm considering evaluating a new email client for myself. I have been using exmh on Unix and Linux for 10 years, and I like it. And so far, I have yet to find a Linux replacement that fits the bill. My requirements are: 1. Must easily support multiple identities. That is I must be able to click on a menu to select my identity (eg. from address). I use about 6 or 7. 2. Must easily suport multiple signatures. Again, must be easily clickable. 3. Must support GNUPG for signed and encrypted messages. 4. Must support html and embedded images. 5. Must be able to send plain text only. 6. Must be an X application, but should be able to coexist with a text version so I can read and send email via telnet. 7. Highly desired: Support for MH mail folders. 8. must have search capability within a fodler. 9. Must have local mail capability (eg. /var/spool/mail/<user> and sendmail). I am considering looking at Evolution and Sylpheed. I just found aout about Sylpheed, and AFAIK, it does all (I'm not 100 sure about identities). http://sylpheed.good-day.net/ -- stable http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/ - development -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Associate Director Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
