        I MUCH prefer using PINE!  I simply telnet into our system.  I can
get through my mail quickly and simply.  The advantages are speed, and not
having to download the mail into my desk computer which helps avoid virus
infection.  If I really need to deal with attachments, only then do I
switch to Netscape.
        GUI systems are intuitive and easy to use, but I've always found I
can use a text based system much faster.  A single keystroke can be much
faster than pointing and clicking.
