Kmail (mis)behaviour, +7.3 comment
Recently installed 7.3 on my new workstation. Very nice install, works nicely, Xconsole disappears every time I've changed the X-configuration (took out the matrox cards, put in some nVidia thingie, the better to play RTCW) No big deal, all in all I must say I'm pretty impressed! 7.3 rocks! I'm running KDE 2.2.1 and with it Kmail 1.3.1 And here's my thing: If I have Kmail showing one of the list-folders, and then start a new message, Kmail automatically puts the list addr in the To: field... Some people might like that, I don't. I accidentally sent a mail for my band to lx-talk just a couple of minutes ago, and really, lx-talk don't need to know about the t-shirts we're going to make ;P Anyone else see this? Anyone know of a way to turn it off? I don't see any obvious options in 'Configure Kmail' and I had a (admittedly quick) glance at kmailrc, but didn't see anything in there either... TIA Jon Clausen

I think it's a function of the way the listserver is set up. And presumably this provides a poignant example of exactly why the SLE listserver is set up not to reply to the list automatically. Kevin

That's one of them. -- -ckm
That's because you have the folder selected as a 'mailing list'.
Right click on the folder and choose Properties.
Uncheck the box that specifies that folder as belonging to a mailing list.
New messages will no longer contain the mailing address.
BTW, I would strongly recommend you upgrade to KMail 1.3.2 by means of
upgrading to KDE 2.2.2. Kmail 1.3.1 has some pretty nasty bugs in it and can
cause X to crash upon receiving certain types of mails. I traced many X
crashes I had to Kmail but since I got 1.3.2 it's been working perfectly.

I have just installed suse 7.3 and cannot get the network card working. It worked with previous incarnations, but now just doesn't seem to be recognised or found by the system. I'm running a separate DHCP server where the machine needs to get it's IP, so does this matter? Any help much appreciated. Paul
I used the below information to set up an ISA card a while back. It may help, just ignore the Corel references. Brian Marr Q: How do I configure my ISA- PnP network card? Corel LINUX OS 1.0 Users: A: Issue the following command from a console screen as root : /sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf <ENTER> This command scans your system for ISA-PnP devices and writes their resources into the /etc/isapnp.conf file. Open this file using the Text Editor (Application Starter | Applications | Utilities | Text Editor). Look for lines similar to the following: # Card 1: serial identifier 91 00 00 81 87 23 21 b0 4e # VendorId SUP2123, Serial Number 33159, checksum 0x91 # Version 1.0, Vendor version 0.0 # ANSI string -->3COM 3C509<-- Each time you see the Card 1: heading, an ISA-PnP card has been found on the system. The ANSI string line should give you a good indication as to what card it is. Below these lines, you'll have some resources available for the device, similar to the following: # (IO 0 (BASE 0x03f8)) # IRQ 4. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt # (INT 0 (IRQ 4 (MODE +E))) Remove the "#" symbols from the first and fourth lines. For example, if you wanted the system to use the values it lists above, you'd change the lines to match this: (IO 0 (BASE 0x03f8)) # IRQ 4. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt (INT 0 (IRQ 4 (MODE +E))) This makes ISAPNPTOOLS configure the card using IRQ 4 and IO 0x3f8. Now search for the following lines at the end of this Card: section: # End dependent functions # (ACT Y) Remove the #' symbols to make the settings take effect: # End dependent functions (ACT Y) Save the file. Now see if this configuration is correct and ensure that it doesn't conflict with other hardware devices on the system. Type the following as root from a console screen: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf <ENTER> If you receive any errors, you'll need to go back into the file and change IRQ, IO or both. Then, save the file and try running this command again. You can use the Control Center to get an indication of what resources are currently being used on your system as a guideline. Repeat the above procedure until you find a combination that works. Activate the Network Card =================================================================================================== Corel LINUX OS 1.1 & Corel LINUX OS Second Edition Users: A: Follow the instructions for Corel LINUX OS 1.0 until Activate the Network Card, then continue with the following : In a console window, type the following : modprobe {module name} irq {irq value} io {port value} Substitute the proper module name, IRQ and IO found earlier (a list of common network cards and their associated module names can be found at the bottom of this document) and press Enter. If this command returns to the command line with no errors, the resources you have selected do not conflict with anything and the module is the correct one. If this command returns with the error "Device or resource busy" verify the module, IO and IRQ for your card. If the modprobe command is successful, open the Text Editor and edit the /etc/modules file. Insert a line after the #auto line with the module name used above: #auto <module name> Now save the file. Next, open the Text Editor again and add the following to the /etc/conf.modules file: options <module name> io=0xnnn irq=n alias eth0 <module name> (replace <module name> and "n" with the proper values found above). Save the file. On Thursday 06 December 2001 00:29, you wrote:

Hmm. Does it need to be configured with isapnp?

Thanks for all the replies, the problem is that it is a D-Link DE220 card, and I had lost the IRQ and IO Range, so I had to reset the EEPROM to an IRQ and range and then I told Linux using Yast and it worked no problem. You need to stick in the ne driver with options like io=0x300 irq=5 kind of things (different for different settings. Thanks for all your help. Paul

Run YaST and reconfigure your network card. when it asks for an IP address put in 'DHCP'. JLK On Wednesday 05 December 2001 07:59, Paul Johnston wrote:

Right... This works... so far so good :) But now I realize, that 'reply-list' (pressing L) puts *both* the list address _and_ the address of the original poster in the To: field... <sigh> O.k. it's just a change, and now I gotta get used to doulbechecking the To: field, but to me it's a change for the worse. In 1.2-something 'L' would reply to the list only, it was nice... oh well... I'll prolly just follow this next piece of advice:

I'll look into that Thanks anyway Jon Clausen
