One of her good points is that i've not let her suck on windows. The only system she uses for emailing IS LINUX and kmail.
if i've used windows and she wants to view emails i pop her onto webmail and she looks at her mail online - no if's no butts! regarding Thunderbird did use it for a couple of months (can't recall why or what happened but i went back to Kmail). me thinks it maybe time to revisit the mailer. thanks all for the help and info. as i've said before she found it quite funny about how the topic had a life of it's own with comments i wont repeat. ;-) On Monday 20 March 2006 14:33, sirlancelot wrote: > Not sure if this would be a useful suggestion Dave, but this is very > easy to do in Thunderbird, very much like outlook to use and configure > (but better of course) ;-) > > It would mean changing email clients, but you never know, you might be > able to talk "her" around to it if you explain that it will be just like > using outlook express, but in Linux. > > Hope it helps, otherwise, just ignore it. > > Lance Blackler > > Nick Rout wrote: > > OK well i hope we can help you satisfy your wife... > > > > My previous advice was to look at kmail's html mail templates, but a bit > > of googling reveals that a common complaint in kmail reviews is the lack > > of templates.
