Package: multimail Obtained from: http://multimail.sourceforge.net/ Packaged for Debian by: peter karlsson Upstream author: William McBrine MultiMail was originally developed under Linux by Kolossvary Tamas and Toth Istvan. John Zero was the maintainer for versions 0.2 through 0.6; since version 0.7, the maintainer is William McBrine ... It's very good & easy to use and colorful shell prg.! I like it.

The default $editor for mmailrc is vi. I changed it to joe. The joe editor is so much easier to use. A popular editor among linux users is 'vim'; vi iMproved. Right now, Joe does fine.

It has a "mode-less" user interface which is similer to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of Micro-Pro's WordStar or Borland's "Turbo" languages will feel at home. JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features for editing programs and text... An impressive editor that's fast & nice to use!
