Sure ... I will have the kinks out of RH on my Micron Laptop by then,

you are in for a treat, and you just made your life so much easier. I go
through 500-600 pieces of mail every morning in about 15-20 minutes.
Procmail sorts it in 10 different mboxes for me, and it is inc'd to show
me new mail in each mbox, and automatically goes to each mbox. With
Mutt, your fingers really never leave home position, cept for an
occasional shift, ESC key, like VIM, etc.. My muttrc has great colors
for mutt in the GUI or console. Life is good.<g> BTW, procmail will
automatically disburse digest mail for you too.
