You can't forget VM which has mime support, archiving, virtual folders, x faces, etc, etc, etc. Very easy to use and works with BBDB.
Of course, and I should have thought about it, VM is another avenue. More moderate in its possibilities, but also more moderate to get started with. All of Gnus, VM, and RMAIL work with BBDB. Even if you are not going to listen to me or maybe not even believe me, let me advise you against BBDB. Me too was seduced by BBDB to the point it just became part of my life. As years went, it grew so big that performance progressively degraded, very slowly, very insidiously, to the point it became wholly unbearable. The real problem is that you just do not walk away of BBDB like that! By comparison, it is much more easy going through a divorce! :-) The collected data had become very valuable over time, you can not merely dismiss it. I had to stick with BBDB, against my will, for a long time after the critical point was reached. It took me many months of regular work to achieve the core of the cleanup, and I kept archives for nearly two years, and special machinery to get at them, before throwing BBDB out of my life, finally, for real. In my case: never, never again! -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
