Sorry to be dim, but I think it pays to make certain on this point. If I'm using RH 7.3 fresh, and then use Red Carpet to upgrade to a later version of Evolution, everything will be OK? No mail folders or their contents will be lost? The reason I'm gun shy is that I tried just this with AbiWord, and now I have a non-functioning program. I even tried to uninstall it in gnorpm and reinstall from the RH site, but no go. It's not *that* important to me, so I never tried to fix it; I always just assumed that Red Carpet had changed something not included with the RH rpm. But it's left me reticent to use redcarpet for any channel other than RH 7.3. -A _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
