For example, I have /home/incal/Mail/mail/misc/ /home/incal/Mail/mail/sent/ and a couple more. The mails end up as mostly ASCII text files, one file for each mail, and as long as you stick to the basic encodings, which should always be stuck to, these files are as easy as any to operate with your entire range of tools. (Not that you *have* to. You can just use Gnus to read them, reply to them, and later on review them whenever you like.) > using an auxiliary tool? Not that I'm aware of. I'm on Raspbian, a Debian fork, and before that, on Debian. On the whole, I think the rule of thumb is, use nnml unless you know a specific reason not to. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
