James:

I have built two different 10Mby FS.img after getting rid off all X 
files, as I work with text only in this Hercules display machine.

In one I loaded PINE and in the other Christov`s MUTT.

I am begining to use the two emails programs so I can decide which 
one is the most convenient.

I am trying PINE because I want to use it to read NNTP news.

Has anyone used a small text NNTP client with BL 3.3 ?

Alejandro.
