[opensuse] mail

Hi-- I am surprised to find that I actually like the KMail program just a little bit more than the Eudora program. I have my Windows machine back on line, more or less, and I have been using both machines and programs. The problem with the KMail I have mentioned before: when you save a mail

I recently downloaded instructions from Brother which were supposed to apply to the HL-2040 printer. In the examples they gave, the printer model appeared to be HL-2030. I changed that in the instructions, as I followed them, to be HL-2040. Perhaps this was in error, and I should have left it
