[Techtalk] Linux on NTFS? - digest reply

[mgmonza at sdf.lonestar.org]

It's pine.  The many responses concerning mutt's ability to select a group

don't have xwindows ability, that I know of, for my account here,  and 
generally perfer a non-graphics account anyway, so will be exploring mutt 
soonest.
