I've been using balsa, but it isn't being packaged for RHEL/Centos anymore, as far as I can figure. I just built a new machine and installed 5.3, so I could use the same Balsa RPM I used on the previous machine (also centos 5.3), which was provided to me back when 5.0 came out by another kind reader of this list--whose name I no longer remember, but I figured I'd see if some other mail reader that is supported on the platform would work instead. > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------
