I need to ask him if I can be nosey and look at it closer to see how it works. I was several feet away at the time. It was threaded tho. I love my threading feature. ;-) If you use Seamonkey, right click on the folder that the emails go to. Select properties and then the retention tab in the pop up. Just click on the correct stuff and set it to how many days you want it kept. Some other programs may have something similar tho. Dale :-) :-)

There is a way to set it to delete things but I thought it was set to retain everything until set to delete. Basically, the default is to keep it all until told otherwise. Maybe IMAP is handled differently tho since it is set up on the server end. Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] GRUB v2
Hello List, I'm sure I saw a thread recently describing progress in understanding and using grub-2, but now I can't find it. I have six months of articles here too, and I've searched gmane and the gentoo archive. Perhaps I'm being dense, or maybe it was on another list. I want to try another distro on an oldish box, but its gentoo grub can't chain to the grub-2 on another boot partition - it reports an invalid executable format, or something like that. Looks like time to bone up on grub-2 as it's the Coming Thing. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
