I'm pissing off too many people on *nix based mailing lists using Microsoft
& Netscape email clients. ;) I'm not on a LAN -- just a dialin to an ISP.
Besides PC-Pine, what do I need to get/do to have a Unix-compatible email
system on my box? TIA!!

later..........duke

In your MS/Netscape clients, you've probably got settings _other_ than:
send in plain text
line wrap 72 (or 75)
no MS-mime-ole (or whatever, see 1st point)

at least.

I wouldn't say that it is necessary to supress MIME encoding to stay
compatible with UNIX users.  There are a lot of UNIX tools around that
handle MIME encoded mail.  I usually include both MIME and plain text, and
I haven't received complaints from other UNIX users.  Of course, that may
be because they don't bother to read my mail...
