First...please see if Outlook Express has an option to send just plain
ASCII text instead of html. It's considered rude to send inline html to
mailing lists, where many of the recipients (often by choice) use e-mail
clients that don't like html.
Now...on to your question. startx is just a shell script that invokes
xinit. It doesn't put its output anyplace special, which means that it
will just get written to the console from which you invoked it.
A common practice is to modify startx to suit your own preferences. I
do this to have the stdout/stderr output redirected to /dev/console to
that I can view the output with xconsole or some such tool while X is
running. To do this, look for a line - probably the last line in startx
- that looks something like this:
xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs
and modify it to look like this:
xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs >/dev/console 2>&1
