Outlook clearly sucks. Really would be nice if you could configure it differently. Unfortunately I can't tell you how since I haven't used it for years.. Would be appreciated if you could make your signature shorter. Generally it be preceded by a line separate line with: "--" and at most 4 lines after that... > I'll defiantly read the indicated section I decided to file a bug [1] because the gcc upgrade guide can be a bit confusing if you don't read every letter in it. Of course it turns out I was wrong... :-/ So to summarize: Going from gcc 3.3.x to 3.4.x you should follow [2] or [3]. Going from gcc 3.3.x to 4.1.x you should follow [3]. Going from gcc 3.4.x to 4.1.x you should follow [4]. Unfortunately making the guide more clear doesn't seem to be a trivial task then... :-( [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146857 [2] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml#upgrade-3.3-to-3.4-revdep-rebuild [3] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml#upgrade-3.3-to-3.4-emerge-e [4] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml#doc_chap2 -- Bo Andresen
