Description

Email and Usenet can be handled from a classic text-based client descended from Pine and ELM workflows. It is useful for keyboard-focused users, remote shells, and long-lived terminal mail setups.

Mail and news clients handle private messages, credentials, attachments, and remote servers. Configure TLS, authentication, and attachment handling carefully.
