My personal preference is kmail - part of KDE. If memory serves me right, it defaults to 'HTML' but this can be turned off. This can however end up with you receiving what looks like empty emails - makes no difference to me anyway cos they just go straight in the bin. It may be a complete coincidense, but I seem to be getting more of these SPAM messages since a friend of my got a yahoo.com email address. Funny how a lot of them pretend to come from invalid email addresses at yahoo.com too. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
