Re: Mutt and Gmail

["Alonzo" <mariachiac@aim.com>]

Hello chuck,

I would like to use my AIM address for sending mail, however... i'm not 
exactly sure how to configure exim4 using debconf. I'm confused with the 
questions. so I've removed it for now until I have better documentation.
Also when I start up debian lenny, it complains about send mailno make 
database that i have to build it by hand. Anyone know what that's about?
