I use that. mew is caching approx 20 minutes. Is there a variable,
which I can change so it caches 120 minutes?

I have this in my .mew.el file:

(setq mew-use-cached-passwd t)
(setq mew-use-biff t)
(setq mew-pop-biff-interval 5)

Does this mean automatic mail checking every 5 minutes? It is not
doing anything :-(


I would have one more question. I would like to use my favorite
antiword program to see .doc documents like text files. Is there a way
to tell mew when the attachment is .doc (Application/Msword) that on
<Space> it executes an external command on the mime attachment?

Thank you in advance
