Thanks, o wiser-than-I-in this-for-sure ;-}

As per another merciful  advice, I have already downloaded staroffice, but
haven't installed it yet.
I'll give that a try at work first. It might be a better solution for a
business co.
When (and if ever - sigh -) I get it to work, I'll try your method at home.

Your method seems much more interesting and 'educational'. It is the perfect
excuse to understand Linux mail machinery better, not to mention all those
cool clients and .files that real linuxers seem  to use.

Thanks mightily!
