One other issue that affects me anyway, is I use more than one computer for my email. Since I have my own imap mail server at home, this isn't an issue for mail, but with news readers, anything I read on one computer will still show as unread on another. The only way around that, that I'm aware of, is to run the news reader remotely, via vpn or ssh. While I have done similar many times in the past, when connecting from another site, such as my office, it is a *LOT* slower. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
