You've got further than me with this. I'm only testing BL, so I don't
really have to use it for email. I only tried the Mutt postpone + pmail
"hack" once. I had a quick look at ssmtp (and nullmailer), but didn't 
figured out how to use them. I was able to set up sendmail (although
I'm more used to exim), and would probably want a "real" mailer, if
I was running BL full-time.

There's certainly no shortage of things to experiment with in Linux.

This is regarding my backspace/delete problem in X with 101-key keyboard.

With the .Xdefaults file the way it is, the Backspace acts like a DEL key.
I just noticed there are TWO DEL keys on the larger keyboard.  The one on
the number pad acts like numlock is stuck on.  The second DEL key is
acting like a DEL key.

I renamed .Xdefaults and now the Backspace key acts like a Backspace key
and the second DEL key acts like a Backspace key.  (The first DEL key acts
like the numlock is stuck on, or '.').

Please advise on what to change to get a Backspace and a DEL key that both
act as expected.   I could try removing one line at a time from
.Xdefaults.
