* Massive changes to chapter 16.Alan Hicks2012-08-221-396/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - Removed pine <screen> section and replaced with png - Removed most configuration information for pine - Removed mutt <screen> section and replaced with png - Removed most configuration information for mutt including everything about fetchmail, formail, procmail, etc. This content belongs in a HOWTO somewhere, not in the Slack Book. - Replaced a lot of the ASCII Hex escape codes with their real ASCII character for readability. Only the < and > characters were kept as escape codes since they're specially interpreted by Docbook.

| | | | | | | | | - gdisk is now mentioned in chapter_02 - decided against including showmount in chapter_11. This wasn't a part of the original slackbook and I don't see a reason to include it now - finger, host, dig, and mailx are now all discussed - removed old ps-imgs cruft
