Turning Emacs into an email-client-how?
I've heard that Emacs is freely customizable so I was wondering if there's a nice way to turn it into an email client. Thanks. JZidar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CD Burning Software Co.
I've installed CDBakeOven so as to be able to burn my CDs in Debian. After solving some minor problems (enabling SCSI support and ful SCSI emulation) I've successfully burnt mz first Linux CD. The problem: When I open this fresh CD in some Windoze program, there is nothing on it (blank CD). What is even stranger is the fact that the whole burning process goes through without any problem. The third mystery: When I try to mount this CD in Debian nothing happens. Any idea? Thanks. JZidar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
