:-) (at least I hope you're jokiing)-- "schreef" is "wrote" in Dutch (so now you know a word of Dutch, hurrah!). It's just the default quote header-- as you see before "Dale screef" is "Holly Bostick wrote", which is the exact same quote header, but yours, quoting me, is in English, while mine, quoting you, is in Dutch. My Thunderbird is in Dutch as are almost all my other desktop applications, as I'm trying to learn Dutch computer language the hard way. It's not much use telling a native Dutch speaker to choose Edit=>Preferences=>Composition=>Send Options if their desktop is not in English, they don't speak English, and I don't know the Dutch words for what is actually appearing and I'm not physically in front of their desktop. Not much hope of getting work as a tech support tech if I don't know the proper terminology when I'm trying to help people over the phone, for example. I beg your indulgence in this matter. > >>> Hi guys, and Holly, >>> >>> I ran a revdep-rebuild on my main rig and it says it needs to do >>> this: >>> >>>> [ebuild UD] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.10.1-r2 [2.12.2] >>> >>> OK, the "U" means Upgrade right?
