But I was "borne" in a Unix system where Emacs readed the mail from a file, so that I decided to simulate this even using pop (that's an external pop client). Under Unix you can use fetchmail or something simpler. Under Windows there's a VB program I wrote and comes under GPL (and that I suggest to drop) or a crappy pop client i built from "spare code" to replace the VB kludge (and that I user even under Linux) I am sure that GNUS accepts file based mailboxes (vm and RMAIL do!) /\ ___ /___/\__|_|\_|__|___Gian Uberto Lauri_____________________ //--\ | | \| | Integralista GNUslamico e fancazzista \/
