Rikona: No need to do it for me. As I mentioned in my earlier message, the problem that I had been having seems to be resolved with the expanded settings in the newer version of Konq. The line about "sticking TheBat" comes from a gag "List of Management Codes" that circulated through our company years ago. The idea was the communication would be more efficient if various three-digit codes were substituted for common phrases. Thus, 904 meant "Play ball with me, or I'll stick the bat up your a**", 214 meant "Excuse me, but you seem to have me confused with someone who gives a damn", 215 was "Here's a dime. Call someone who cares.", and so on. (The reference to a dime for a phone call is a clue to its age. And mine.) Now that you bring it up, I've wondered how other folks manage their email. It's become pretty clear to me that I've got to do something about it; just the increased volume of mail on the expert and newbie lists has reached the point where I find it difficult just keeping current. -- cmg
