Dear Folks,
There is an even more curious phenomenon with mail files; files copied
in from a netscape nsmail folder will appear, and will also open, but will
NOT display any body when the e-mail is clicked `read'. What must I do to
get the e-mail items to not only display in the virtual folder, but also
display their contents when read?
I'm using XCmail-2.0.0 on a box running Red Hat 7.1 and a kernel
updated to linux-2.4.18. My access to the net is through an ISP, PPP3, and
their smtp and pop3 mail server.
Shalom,
John B. Brown.
