Yep, I like kmail (and kppp), I always found it a bit off-putting that I had to download a huge chunk of KDE in order to get it. i.e. why isn't it packaged separately? Doesn't matter so much if I'm installing off CD, but when I was running KDE1 and Kmail1 (?) hit the 'billennium bug', I didn't _really_ want to upgrade my entire desktop (or distro) just for a mailer. So I tried Sylpheed for a while (not my style, though) until I eventually upgraded anyway. cr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
