Well, it won't be open all the day but only when I will have to use the PC. But still you say it good and the fact that many people use it, makes me a trust for it, though until I use it, I cannot comment much of its effectiveness....just heard....Okay its resourceful. My PC is neither too old nor the latest, its in the middle...It should cope up with it, I guess... It is really wonder to know that Debian doesn't include them because of yet another war of license....whatever...If the actual code is free, still such issues arise is a wonder to think....! I now think that KMail must be a bit less resourceful than Thunderbird. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
