Windows Media Player format? I don't mean download a .ASF file, and then
play it when it's completely transferred; I mean real-time streaming (like
we can with RealPlayer)?

No, that won't help. I don't use Word as my email editor - no sane person
does :-) - and my Outlook still likes to send in HTML.
Outlook Express seems to obey the "plain text only" wishes of it's users,

First thing I thought of, too.
Last night I updated to kernel 2.4.17. from kernel.org (plain vanilla
sources). Did my usual config and compile, and rebooted. Normally, I use
devfs (append devfs="mount", in lilo). However, the boot fails with an error

That (usually) won't work, since those are mostly links to places holding
RPMs. If the RPMs disappear from the linked site, rpmfind is useless, since
the link will now point to a non-existant file.

You don't *have* to pay for Opera. Paying only gets rid of the banner ad at

Hey all. I'm trying to get antivirus scanning of my postfix mail server, and need an
