Hi Tim :) spam filtering is fine and there's no other client, that enables such easy, the use of PGP, than "Thunderbird" does. I know a lot of unpleasant behaviours of Thunderbird and Icedove, but the one with the windows, that will be opened, was badly a pain in the arse. I didn't reported it to the right people, because - it wasn't a problem Thunderbird ever had and I thought the Icedove people want the function to open a second instance by a double click - my mouse buttons are not good enough debounced, because it's a very old mouse and my WM's are set to have double click functions, while doing a single click (standard for KDE and for GNOME edited by me) The Icedove from Lenny is fine, concerning to the problem with the unwanted opened windows, so I don't think the Icedove people will fix the version for Etch. I don't know if Lenny's Icedove is better or if there are dependencies better. I just can say, that Lenny is much better than Etch as a state of the art desktop client. For me that means e.g. TorK can be used, KDE-apps that will work with KDE ex 3.5.9 can be used and Icedove is better, more like the Thunderbird. I'm not sure how stable my DAW is, because of the upgrades. If e.g. jackd version 0.109.2 will be not as stable as the one of Etch (0.103.x or 0.106.x or what version it's now), that won't be a problem for me, when doing homerecording. However, it's good that 64 Studio is based onto the stable Etch release and not onto Lenny, to be safe when doing professional recording. Thank you for that :). But as a Linux for everything I need, I can't await 3.0 and I hope there will be better ATI drivers in versions greater than 3.0. Cheers, Ralf
