Hey, Thanks for the reference. I'm lurking the group emails and have read some manuals on board. Problem is some are too geeky for me to understand although I've picked up a lot since installing linux about 2 months ago. I have set outlook express to all text mode as a result of using another discussion group for modem drivers. Since my problems includes a malfunctioning Mozilla mail client, I copy anything I want to email to my zip drive and paste it into OE, maybe that's how it got coded. I'm getting that cookbook hoping its more user friendly.
