Best Mail Reader

I believe what Dustin was saying when he was talking about VNC was to infer
that we would not need a video camera, merely have a Zaurus with a NIC in it
running VNC server and a desktop running the viewer hooked up to a
projector.  This would be much more amenable.

As for my opinion for the on-topic discusson:
I use Evolution for my home e-mail and find it very useful, if a bit of a
resource hog.  It is also not QUITE as configurable as I would like, but it
sure beats exmh. :)  As for my work email, I'm ashamed even to admit what
I'm forced to use. :(  (If you're really interested, look at the message
headers)

I use slrn for my newsgroups although have not attempted using GPG with it.
I've found it to be fairly powerful and easy to use.  In the past, I found
tin to be better for newsgroups with heavy threading, but as was pointed out
in previous posts, tin is quickly becoming rather problematic.  C'est la
vie..

If someone has a video camera with an appropriate connector to the
projector, and a tripod is available, you can zom into the screen and
have a poor man video display projected for all to see. :-)

This would be a good talk to see/hear.
