yeah...  i'll try agent w/ pine...  didn't even think about it! : ^ )

i'm trying out Pan right now... it uses Gtk/Gnome (i can hear some people
groaning already) and has a nice UI (IMHO)...  not quite as advanced as
Agent, BUT it does support multipart messages well (shows them kinda like
a folder in win-explorer, w/ the various parts beneath the "full"
message)...  

jesse
