I know the mail transprot system isn't realy geard up for it, but that problem asside I find it really really useful. I keep all work related email, including the attachmets in the email application. It's there for ever, I can find it when I need it etc... If it was all linked then I would have to serch my email, open an app to down load it, hope the server wasn't down (hey, it does happen) and then down load it. Not the end of the world, but much easier if it's here. And lets face it, if outlook didn't alow automatic execution of attachments then the whole email virus problem wouldn't exist, and hence the major security problems. Useing evo of course my only security issue is the stability of the lates unstable snapshots... umm yeah, that about sums up my IQ for you huh? -- * * Rob Brown-Bayliss * _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
