Anyway, KMail has "Send Again" in the "Message" menu, but it can only be used for mail that you originated in the first place, it cannot be applied to mail you received..
Same thing. That was the intention, anyway. But an email sent with Pine can be resent with balsa. The unfortunate thing (for me) is that Pine doesn't have a resend function, nor Mozilla, I think. I hadn't noticed about KMail, but it is so slow firing it up that I seldom use it.
Slow to start up? So what! I keep it running at all times when I'm logged in. One of the beauties of multiple virtual desktops under KDE is that I have created a nice breakdown of different (groups of) applications in each of the 8 virtual desktops I configure. I bound CTRL-ALT-<ArrowKey>) to navigate through the desktops. Also, I use the KDE's "Special Window Settings" to cause particular application's windows to always display initially in particular desktops. It's far better than having only the "minimize" function as a desktop organizing and management tool. Also, the latest KMail can be kept running with a system tray icon visible but with all its windows closed (i.e., closing all the KMail windows does not cause it to quit. For that you have to issue the File -> Quit command or the tray icon's context menu's Quit command). Thus it can occupy only the tiniest amount of screen real estate (i.e., the tray icon) while still doing its work of periodically retrieving mail. Add to that the ability of the filters to play sounds when certain mail arrives (variously important mail) and you need pay only a few dozen megabytes of resident memory to keep it running.
This email was started with Pine, and finished and posted with Balsa.
You're sick, twisted and mixed up. But what would we expect from a guy whose first name is Carlos and whose last name is Robinson! (I'm kidding, of course!)
