When I used Slackware I used Mutt and loved it. It was so easy to delete a line (ctrl Y) was all it took...........So easy. However no one here in our very small town knows anything about Slackware, so my husband put Lubuntu on my computer so I could get help if I needed it. He is the only one who can help me with slackware. Anyway Mutt wouldn't work with Lubuntu as they seem incompatible. I have no clue why, but it has something to do with the fact that we do not write in the clouds. We use pop3 mail queue and nullmailer.
Hal. (Husband) is really brilliant about all this geekish stuff and he is trying to work something out so I have the gooey and a decent mailer. BTW, Hal is also in this group and at the age of 94 he has all these unix/linux commands firmly embedded in his head! He dislikes systems like Ubuntu and is unfamiliar with them so he is struggling with me to work this out.

Did Slackware use thunderbird as well, and if so, were you able to delete a
line? It almost sounds like you were using mutt or similar. You don't
_have_ to use Thunderbird on Lubuntu, you can install another client,
including, of course, mutt.
