I noticed a couple of messages as I was deleting some messages in my SLE folder. Subject = No subject Sender = Unknown Date (Order of Arrival) = unknown The first two I opened and they were totally empty. I clicked on a message with the subject = Re: [SLE] Gnome/Gimp question. I did not notice the sender or date. As soon as I clicked on the message to open it, it changed to - No Subject, Unknown, unknown. Other messages open normally. There is one showing with the subject - Re: [SLE] Gnome/Gimp question. Sender - Graham Smith. Date - Yesterday 16:49:35 I will now try opening it! Exactly the sake result, No Subject etc. Just looked in the trash folder and there are four messages all dated yesterday and with the subject - Gnome/Gimp question All four are normal messages with sender, date, content etc. Suse 8.1 KDE 3.0.4 Nothing exotic or unusual installed. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing, or have done, wrong. Many Thanks, Malcolm Leatherby
