3 panel view with folders, message list and highlighted message. Panel between message list and highlighted message display has small "-" sign at extreme left which toggles 1 line display or 3-4 line display. Ken On 04/06/10 09:27, Kyle wrote: Really?

Usually, by downloading the older package and installing it by hand. Most distributions make this reasonably practical, more or less. Depending on the architecture you may also have access to older versions through whatever command line package management tool Mint uses; many of them can specify a specific version, and some have access to older versions. That said, I suggest you learn how to resolve the problem: most distributions don't support anything but (close to) the most recent releases of Mozilla products, because upstream are not very helpful if you don't do that, and because they are so incredibly complex and painful that doing it inside the distribution is a losing game. Daniel In other words: even if you can temporarily work around it, at some point you will have to bite the bullet and either move to a less awful mailer, or accept the latest release. -- ✣ Daniel Pittman✉ dan...@rimspace.net☎ +61 401 155 707 ♽ made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
