It works fine, almost as good as Netscape Messenger in Windoze. I miss the possibility of sending BCC's. Kmail might be THE project you are asking for. For those who are OE fans, of course, it might be a good idea to establish a project of making an LX-OE. In general many refrain from turning to Linux, because Linux doesn't have IE and OE. IMHO, the browser issue is bundled with the mail client issue. Netscape seems to be incapacitated regarding producing obedient code. The browser works fine until Messenger is set up. After that it's useless on a machine with a dial up connection charged per minute. You are right. There are meaningfull projects to attend to. Cheers, Niels
