Gee, I can't believe no one gave me **** for saying I prefer pico ;) pico is a text editor in linux, not a mail client. pine is the mail client, that works a lot like pico. Then there is always elm. And if your really good, you could just use mail.

I'd assumed either you meant pine with the pico editor interface (as opposed to vi, vim, and so on), or perhaps you were really 1337 and (weird combo, I know) used pico to write the e-mail then did a mail on the file to actually send it off. :) 'course, I *suppose* you really don't need anything but to cat through the /var/mail/<username> file and read your new e-mail. :)Quote:

If I was leet, I wouldn't use pico at all. I would probably be using emacs, but that program is just WAY over my head ;)
I actually did cat through my mail file a couple of times, but that was after it was moved to /home/<user>/mail/
