Hi all,
Well, having fought with Debian 2.1 for some hours, I had to give up. The reason: with no mouse I could'n't get into X, and with no modem I couldn't hit the net to get help; I set both up myself and in the case of the modem, I tried manual configuration and Debian's pppconfig/pon progs, but neither had much effect (setserial reported the tty to be fine).
So, last night I formatted again, and reinstalled RH6 - I am now rebuilding what I had, this time using RPMs and not source tarballs. However, I have had one slight hitch in my mail system.
I backed /var/spool/mail up onto a Windows partition, reinstalled, got sendmail up and unfortunately collected mail before installing the backed-up mail. Hence this email.
I just took a look at /var/spool/mail/jg to see if concatentation of files was possible, but there's a system-generated initial email with an 'X-IMAP' header and number which appears to have some significance. I'm no Unix mail expert, so what should I do? I only use sendmail with pine using standard unix mail configuration, so what do I do? Here's the email:

move /var/spool/mail/jg somewhere...cat the origional mail to /var/spool/mail/jg then cat the moved file to the end...always worked for me :)

That isn't system-generated. It's University of Washington software (eg PINE) misbehaving. There's an option along the lines of Quell Internal Folder Message in PINE that you should set.
In other news, the rebuilding of my home system to be almost totally customised is going quite well. About halfway there after a day of compiling (mostly unattended).

Mmm .. is there any new decent mail clients for X as yet (either running under the KDE or Enlightment interfaces). I'm getting to the stage where I'm seriously considering improving my C skills enough to write my own client. Seems a complete shame nobody has written a really decent offline email/news client for X as yet unless I'm completely mistaken.

I use nutscrape, it's large but fairly solid now.. (4.61).. there is a nice little kmail client which has pgp intergrated.. but it's nowhere near as featured as netscape.. now when mozilla gets pgp then I'll switch ;).. until then it's pine and netscape for me.. Scoobz

KDE has a pretty good mail client built-in, and I use Netscape, simply because I can use it in 'Doze and Linux (don't get confused!), and it supports IMAP.
Cheers, Laurie.
