 +[02] WHAT MAIL PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE HERE?
  
 +     There are SO MANY mail readers, its unbelievable.  Many share
 +     the same functionality, interface and commands .. pointless!!
 +
 +     mailx     System 7 standard mail client.  Very minimal, but
 +               quick and useful.  You could use it from a teletype.
 +
 +     rmail     (emacs -f rmail) East Coast mail / babyl reader
 +
 +     pine      West Coast mail reader.  Actually incorporates MM
 +               (from TOPS-20) as its core, though you'd probably
 +               never know that.  Slow, but user friendly.
 +
 +     alpine    A complete recode of pine.  Supposed to fix all of
 +               pines problems but probably just makes new ones.
 +  
 +     nail      A very simple mail reader and processor.
 +
 +     elm       A simple and easy mail reader.  Though, has a tendancy
 +               to barf on MIME encoded attachments.
 +
 +     mutt      A stripped down version of elm, but with better
 +               support for MIME encoded attachments.
 +
 +     pop3      your POP3 mail server is 'mail.freeshell.org'
 +               (NOTE, there is no SMTP support here, no relaying
 +                from unknown and non-local networks).
 +
 +     procmail  this can be used for filtering incoming mail and
 +               doing what you will with it.  fairly powerful.
