Re. the MS fonts in exe format. I have not tried it, but it seems that unzip on Linux is able to handle exe zip files. What I did was to burn the windows fonts on a CD and install then on all MDK computers using the MDK font installer. Easy to do. Eric Indiogine On Monday 09 July 2001

I have never been able to find out how to do this. Where do you right-click to get the add to address book? This would have saved me a lot of time. MS Outlook and Outlook express are able to do this. How do you do this in Kmail??? An other issue with Kmail is on how to set up mailing
