Scribe Mail
'''Scribe''' is a small and lightweight [[Email_program|Email Program]] for Windows and Linux which first appeared as [[Freeware]] in 1999 and has been updated roughly once a month ever since. Previous versions ran on [[Beos]] as well. Scribe now comes in a freeware version: [http://www.memecode.com/scribe.php i.Scribe] and a commercial version: [http://www.memecode.com/inscribe.php InScribe]. The commercial version adds multiple accounts and multiple user defined filters.

Scribe uses all the standard mail protocols, like [[Post_Office_Protocol|POP]], [[SMTP]] and [[IMAP]] and has various plugins that can add [[Secure_Sockets_Layer|SSL]], [[Lightweight Directory Access Protocol|LDAP]] and [[Spell_checker|spell checking]] support. It has a built in HTML viewer that is virus safe. Executable attachments are detected and optionally deleted. Scribe can be installed on removable media like [[USB_keys|USB keys]] so that you can carry around your mail between computers. Translators have added translations to many popular european and east asian languages. Scribe has very evolved [[Charset]] support and can display text correctly even if the [[Glyphs]] are not available in the current [[Typeface|Font]].

While Scribe itself is not [[Open_source|open source]], it is built on a [[LGPL]] [http://www.memecode.com/lgi.php porting layer] (by the same company) that comprises about half of the final product.
