Because many people use the help functions and configure their mailers correctly. I've found that some people get jittery w/ any software they use under Linux just because it's running on Linux...no matter how point and clicky it is. This is not a dis on the guy who wrote previously. It's just a fact. People think it's SO different..but that's the point of Kmail and many other KDE or even Gnome programs. It's made to work and feel the same. I've configured 30-40 different email clients ..textbased and GUI under 7-8 different OS's..it's all the same. It just takes reading the documentation whether it be a Help menu or a textfile. If people think that computers and software should be as dumbed down as to cater to the "blinking VCR at 12:00" people. They will get software like IIS which is full of holes and really doesn't work as well as it should. /end rant -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
