   Hi! Well, I haven't seen the "G'day" from 'downunder' in a while! :) Where   
   you've been? It's good to hear from you! :) I was just at ADUG's site and   
   I see a OS Tour for your neighborhood. Are you going to it?

   Package: multimail   
   Obtained from: http://multimail.sourceforge.net/   
   Packaged for Debian by: peter karlsson    
   Upstream author: William McBrine    
      
   MultiMail was originally developed under Linux by Kolossvary Tamas and Toth   
   Istvan. John Zero was the maintainer for versions 0.2 through 0.6; since   
   version 0.7, the maintainer is William McBrine   
   ...   
      
    It's very good & easy to use and colorful shell prg.! I like it.   
      
    CH> Just realised my first question is somewhat redundant. Check out your   
    CH> ~/.mmail(.rc) file and see what the editor variable is set to. Else,   
    CH> check the docs.   
      
    Yep, done that already. The default $editor for mmailrc is vi. I changed it   
   to joe. The joe editor is so much easier to use. A popular editor among linux   
   users is 'vim'; vi iMproved. Right now, Joe does fine.

   .SH Description   
   JOE is a powerful ASCII-text screen editor.  It has a "mode-less" user   
   interface which is similer to many user-friendly PC editors.  Users of   
   Micro-Pro's WordStar or Borland's "Turbo" languages will feel at home.  JOE   
   is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features for   
   editing programs and text...   
      
    An impressive editor that's fast & nice to use! I ran across the name in   
   linux.org site doing lessons/beginner! I'm at lesson10 of 20. There's a lot   
   to learn all of sudden because this AmigaOne! :)
