Haveing a kmail problem the other day, I logged in via the webmail at vz, and found 9 messages, all spam, sitting in the spam folder there. So I checkmarked them to be deleted, and as I had the tech support guy on my ear at the time, I noted that delete didn't, it just moved the stuff to the trash folder. That pulled my trigger and I made it clear to the support drone that when I clicked on delete, thats exactly what I intended to happen. As vz is currently setup, you then have to move to the trash folder, select them all again, and click delete to be able to be truely rid of the wasted space. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
