Adobe's price for Acrobat 4.0 is around $250, you may get it cheaper
from other vendors. But what's it worth when Linux can't run it; who
needs it when gs + a few shell scripts can churn almost anything
(except .doc's ? ) to pdf :)

By the way, your mailer adds format=flowed in the header. I would like
to have a mailer that supports this "flowed" format inrtroduced by
Qualcomm --- can the latest version of PINE do that?
