I've deleted the first and only message in the outbox and I'm still unable to send an email with a file attachment with Kmail, and Mozilla Messenger. I've even tried Sylpheed and it also aborts with errors in sending. I'm sending to another one of my email addresses that I know are functional. Could this be a hardware problem? Network card? I'm using a StarTech 10/100 ST100SW connectted to a Linksys hub and from there to a Linksys single port router which then goes to my cable modem. Browsing the internet with Netscape, Galeon, Mozilla, & Knonqueror all work fine. Steve M. -- ___________________________ Linux Mandrake 8.1 (Vitamin) Kernel 2.4.8-26mdk i686
