Hi,
Or evolution or k9mail but as ms stopped me having access to my
hotmail account, and showing historical mails sent back to the 90's doesn't
count as proof I had the account, I no longer use them!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Posting conventions - was Re: Keyobard issues in 14.10
I do understand the reasons why it is a good thing to do. I am often juggling several tasks at once and my son refuses to allow me to concentrate on any of them so I can get wound up by anything other than the straightforward solution. That said I do appreciate the help. Yes Colin the mail has gone because I had resolved the issue I believed and deleted it. It's not the end of the world, it is now consistently US format so I can handle that. It was jumping between the two that was driving me mad.
