- I wonder why messages did not display the content of your text/richtext
- posting. (I've not installed metamail yet, so I got the button, but no
- display of the uninterpreted text.) But saving the file to disk and
- reading it raw worked.
-
- Anyway, I read my mail every day using:
- PersonalMailCollectionCommand: getmail po:${USER} ${HOME}/Mailbox/
-
- The getmail command is a little tool which connects to a kerberized POP
- server and fetches the mail into the Mailbox directory as individual
- files.
-
- Are people interested in getmail? Should I see about redistributing it?
- Or is eatmail of sufficient functionality?
