Through the wonders of alpine, atleast you can do html email in the terminal as well! =) I use the gui for web browsing, reading pdf:s and libreoffice. The rest sits in the terminal (email, programming/scripting, tinkering, reading text files). I have been thinking about moving the reading part of web browsing into the terminal as well, but haven't found a browser I'm happy with. Modern web sites tend to become too messed up when viewed in the terminal. Maybe it would be possible to write a kind of "pre-processor" that formats web sites with a text based browser in mind? > <snip> > > Nice post! > >
