It's emacs - that should say it all ;-) I'd really say you should give slrn a try. It isn't sticked to a certain editor, you know. > Not to mention that hilarious impossibility of generating correct > .sig-delimiters - or is that fixed by now? And the half-minute or so Well, it's fixed if you use the plain-text editor, which is _not_ the default, for some versions at least. The missing of the trailing space is a lost in the convertion from html back to plain-text when you use the html-editor, to my knowledge. > startup time - and the frequent crashes - and...

I know people that agree to it and still use it... *shrugs* Anyway, I still can only encourage everyone to give slrn a try. There's a win32-binary also, you know. If you need any help (I just can repeat myself ;) with it, feel free to ask me. I once offered to write a howto for slrn on win32 and got it even quite ready, but then I found one linked from the slrn-homepage[1] so I droped that tutorial. obASCII: | | |\ | | | \/ I drew this for my login-screen (I'm quite sure that |_ | | \| |_| /\ someone must already have done this, so no tag for it) Have fun!
