It would appear so. I guess you could also have removed the Re: from the subject line. > I was interested to read that Flo, the OP, uses separate mail > collection, sendmail and thunderbird.

Disadvantages of using your email client to send might include: . sending is relatively instant as the client is dispatching it to the same machine, not the remote smarthost, . exim will retry sending if your smarthost is busy/unavailable, . it keeps logs, . it send emails on behalf of other processes, like cron jobs, where your client is not involved. I don't collect emails in Flo's sense, as I use IMAP rather than POP. So my INBOX is merely mutt's cache of individual emails, rather than a live mailfile. The actual server is somewhere around Manchester/Stockport. > Would it save me from my fairly regular 'can't find profile' errors? I don't use TB, which is where I assume you're getting those from.
