Recommend an email program for the debian-user-digest?
|
|
|
Can anyone recommend an email program that works well when dealing with
messages on the debian-user-digest list? I don't quite understand how
the emails are put together. The email in the inbox contains attachments
that are emails. Those email attachements I can open, but then those
emails also contain more attached emails and those I can't open. I can't
seem to hit the reply button to any of it.

This is not an answer to your querry, hopefully somebody else will help.
Would you be interested in browsing through the list as a newsgroup? I
use thunderbird and see the mailing list as a newsgroup hosted by
gmane.org (They host plenty of mailing lists as newsgroups). I have my
gmail email as the email address for this mailing list. In Gmail, I
filter these mails and send them to Trash. I personally find browsing
newsgroups (with their threaded options) much more convenient than
reading emails. The only client I have seen that threads emails is mutt.

kmail handles digests pretty well if you don't split them using procmail using
the examples in procmail's example manual page.

kmail, thunderbird also have threading options. Infact kmail has something
called "mailing list management" which detects mailing lists automatically.
Couple of advantages of this "mailing list management" are that one does not
need to remember the instructions to subscribe/unsubscribe to the mailing
lists, figure out how to send the replies (ie to the list/sender etc.,).
There are infact many more bells and whistles of course...

Um, you could always just set your digest options to "plain-text"
instead of MIME. Personally, I hate plain-text digests, but you might
feel differently about it. :)
