Of course, I agree with you, but my first sentence was about "gnome env".
And don't even try to answer that mutt can run in some kind of
gnome-terminal  ;-)

The emacs or the "mutt/lynx/grep XXX myaddressbook" office suites are
certainly good options, as well as telnet 25/80/110 :-), and easier to
compile :-) and I use them too. But not on my new 1.6 Gz bipro
(hehehe !!). I want my CPU ('S hehehe again)  to warm a little, and X11
apps are the best at it :-)
And most of all: I have fun changing galeon's themes (No, Jonathan,
xterm's -bg & -fg options are different!). ;-)

br.

PS. And No again, Jonathan, "main(){while (1);}" is not an option too to 
warm
my CPUs, even if it also runs in a gnome-compliant terminal  ;-)
