Hrrm, I'm confused here--you mean there's no builtin mutt smtp?  As I
said in my original post, I simply used msmtp, and added a few things to
my .muttngrc, a send2-hook so that if I send from my gmail account (from
my local machine, not using their web) it goes out through their server.  

I suspect I'm misunderstanding something you said here though. 

At any rate

 (SHAMELESS PLUG) 

after spending so much time setting it
up--the actual setup, once I figured it out is very quick, it was finding
an smtp agent that worked easily) I put up a quick web page about it.

TOTAL CHANGE OF SUBJECT

By the way, Francisco, if you see this email, I blame you--you
got me back into playing with various window managers now.  :)



You might
like (again, it really depends upon your needs) weewm.  It's another
lightweight WM.  What it has for me, that evilwm doesn't, is the ability
to make a window move the number of pixels that you wish (evilwm seems
set at 16, I can't figure out how to change that) and to run various
apps with keybindings--AFAICT,  evilwm just allows an xterm to open with
a keybinding.  The weewm allows me to bind commands, so I can open up
any application I choose, such as a web browser, with keystrokes. 

However, on the machines I'm using, slowest one a lowend MB 700MH AMD
with 512 megs of DDR, neither of the two mentioned here (evilwm and
weewm) give me a feeling of being faster than fluxbox.  Flux does have
my little stupid eye candy, transparent menus.  Also, it allows me to
open a rootmenu, and I don't think the other two do.

Angel: It's complicated how this all happened, Buffy, you
know. It's kind of a long story.
Buffy: Your new sidekick had a vision, I was in it, you came to
Sunnydale?
Angel: Okay, maybe not that long.
