Brad ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [kdepim-users] information about KMail SSH tunneling Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2005 03:03 am From: Till Kothe <[email protected]> To: kdepim-users at kde.org Hi, I just discovered some nice instructions on how to set up an SSH tunnel with KMail's precommand on http://www.slac.com/~mpilone/projects/kde/kmailssh/ and added it to KMails documentation. I have no clue, if I did this right in any way since this was my first attempt on docbook and cvs diff. That's also the reason why this "patch" is that small. Please let me know if you have any use for stuff like this. Since I'm an enthusiastic KDE user I want to "do my part" and contribute to the development. And since I don't have time to dig into the sources right now, I at least wanted to contribute to the documentation to make KDE even more easy to use. Tell me if this goes to /dev/null or if you can use this and similar "documentation patches". thanks!
