I've used and rejected Eudora thanks.  My Linux server isn't (yet) my
gateway
to the net, so that isn't an option either. Even if it was, Netscape
wouldn't be
my first choice - I'd far rather use elm!

Basically, I think that for consistancy, the client end should be able to
handle
over length lines without trauma (there agin, I've *always* felt that about
mail, news etc).
