<p>With every email being in a separate file, viewing them becomes just as easy as browsing through a folder (or query result) of images with <a href="applications/showimage.html">ShowImage</a>. Leaving the Tracker window open, you'll see the moving selection of the currently viewed file while you use the previous/next button to move through them.<br />

As they are independent files, using a viewer other than Haiku's <a href="applications/mail.html">Mail</a> causes no problems whatsoever.</p>

<li><p>The <span class="app">mail_daemon</span> to fetch/send mail and save them as normal files.</p></li>
