Just one of the reasons I use mailfilter, fetchmail, procmail and SA, all in pop3 mode feeding kmail. They would have to get past a dd-wrt router and into this machine to do that to me, whereas an imap account on any ISP is going to be subject to the well known low hanging fruit law. Not to mention the message security problem when discussing new technologies that could lead to patents. No message to me sits on the ISP's servers more than 3 minutes, so unless they are keeping a copy at the ISP, rotsa ruck in finding that one message with the priceless nugget of info in it, should there ever be one. ;-) I would be more than happy to assist the linux/kde (& kmail) users here in setting this up. but for Gary and his winderz box, I am helpless as I formatted the drive that had my only copy of XP on it about 4 years ago. I simply could not find a use for XP or anything that came with it. [...] Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
