First of all, "perlmonk.org ne perlmonkS.org" :) Just for the record. The best way to read your mail (I think) is to forward it to your own account somewhere (or of course, log in and use `pine`). Just launch your favourite text editor and create a file `~/.forward` with in it just your email address where you want your mail to go. That's it. The mail daemon will forward all your incomming messages to the account you specified in the file. Update: since this is quite off-topic, I'd suggest next time you just log in and ask the question in the CB :) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]
