Since a lot of spam has forged headers (perhaps poorly forged), maybe there is something going on related to that bug. I don't really care about losing the actual spam. :-) It's just a bit of a pain to manually delete the index files. It's actually easier to delete and recreate the spam folder.

KMail--Can't Delete Phantom Message(s)
Using KMail 3.5.9 from unstable. I sometimes get phantom messages, which usually have their subject line in strikethru. These messages can't be read, moved to the trash, or deleted. Generally they are in my spam folder, but not always. They only way I have found to get rid of them is to delete the folder entirely, then recreate it, or to delete the folder indexes. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Kevin, but it still does the same thing. The associated program was Opera, but it was launching Konq, which was number two. I have no idea why. I moved Konq to the top and made sure the command was as you said. It still loads to /var/tmp and still launches Konq with the same results. It seems to be an interesting problem. :-( BTW, I should already have mentioned I am running 3.5.7. Thanks again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Loading Of URLs To /var/tmp
Hi, Does anyone know of any way to kill the loading of clicked on KMail links to /var/tmp/kdecache-user..., instead of directly to Konqueror? Konqueror can't seem to handle half the web sites that are passed that way. For that matter, can anyone explain the rational for doing it that way in the first place, or point to some documentation on this subject? Google hasn't helped.

Before the upgrade, the notebook had a new net install of Debian/Testing -- using the Sarge net installer, RC3 -- not exactly up to date, but it worked with a few kinks. With only some parts of 3.4 installed, I restarted KDE and got the 3.4 login screen. I logged in, opened Konq, clicked on storage media, and then plugged in a SanDisk flash drive. Its icon immediately appeared, correctly labeled. When I clicked on the drive's icon, it mounted and Konq correctly displayed the contents. Files opened properly, etc. The context menu for the icon lists 'mount' and 'safely remove.' It does not have 'unmount' as an option -- even when the device is mounted. The icon properly indicates if the device is mounted or not. "Safely remove' seems to have replaced 'unmount' for removeable media. It seems to work just as Martin indicated -- and was the primary reason I chose to get the 3.4 from Sid. While it may be possible to script things so that the device is mounted automatically when it is plugged in, I see that as an unnecessary risk for removeable media, at least for my current applications. I prefer it to mount when I click on the icon, so I'm happy with what I am finding in 3.4. N.P. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I have never experienced any problems because of this. FWIW, I have only done a distribution upgrade a couple of times. I usually upgrade piecemeal on an as-needed basis.

If Synaptic wants to remove a lot of KDE for installation of a particular package, I assume the KDE maintainers haven't gotten all the dependencies sorted out yet.

[Snip] I noticed a new (I believe it was experimental) kernel option that enabled the use of the "supposedly" unused portion of the CMOS ram. I "think" that came out with the 2.6.10 kernel, but I am unsure as to exactly which releases have it. It sounds like that option is enabled in the kernel you are using, and somehow KDE is corrupting the CMOS ram data. I don't understand why that option would be enabled in any standard kernel. Removing the user (all users, perhaps) from nvram (non-volatile ram) seems like the proper solution. I wouldn't call it a work-around at all. Unless I completely misunderstand what's going on, I don't think that kernel option should be enabled in the first place, and if it is, most, if not all users, should not be members of the nvram group.
