Mon 17.20 BST Many Thanks daRcmaTTeR, I now have Mozilla 1.0 on and running, indeed this comes via composer in mozilla1.0. The original problem is now cured. The " | choose | " tab works. There is also something diferent about the addressbook environment too , not had time to evaluate it fully yet so cannot say precisely, but it looks and feels better. I still don't know about all the pluggins, Mozilla and Netscape seem to have so many. My old mozilla had java realtime as an rpm and I guess this serves again, and does not need changing ? I would still appreciate a further suggestion about this issue, what about this gehko thing, I'm not even sure what it is , or what it does, except that it used to be called raptor. Also , a check with the rpm package manager reveals :- nautilus-mozilla 1.0.6-15mdk 10.85mb Mozilla-irc-0.9.8-10mdk 0.115mb mozilla-mail-0.9.8-10mdk 4.216mb mozilla-0.9.8-10mdk 30.0mb java2html.1.7-2mdk 0.15mb What should I do with these , how many dare I remove do you think.I don't want to loose functionality. One further think, I still don't seem to have an outbox, to save messages to for transmission later. Ctrl+shift+return = "unable to save your message to send later,please veryifythat your M+NG a/c settings are correct+try later" I doubt that my M+NG setting are wrong, but perhaps . regards, John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
