Hi Lane, If you are using Ubuntu then you already have Evolution I think. Evolution is usually the default Mail client/Calendar/Journal application for the Gnome Desktop. But don't quote me on that, I'm an OpenSuSE user and Debian derivatives and Ubuntu packaging policies are a bit of a mystery to me! ;) If Evolution isn't installed I think that "aptget evolution" will do the job. However I may be putting you wrong not being that familiar with apt and to prevent a distro war, I'll step back in favour of those more experienced with funny brown linuxes. ;) Cheers G > > -----Original Message----- > From: Graham Lauder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 5:17 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [website-dev] Other W3C Validation > > On Tuesday 18 March 2008 09:20:10 Lane Miles wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > Hi Lane > > > It's weird, because I am using Outlook 2007... > > There's your problem.
