Zapped .kde yesterday (of course after "mv .kde kde-bkup" and moving kmail/kontact data back). I have an old mozilla file that FF naturally used as well. I'm thinking of zapping the moz/FF file (actually moving it) and seeing if that doesn't do the trick. Cheers, Curtis. -- Spammers Beware: Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!
