There were a couple of other programs that I guess got pulled in by the changed use, but they've upgraded which is the main thing. Thank you very much Cheers, Wol This is a known problem. It generally shows itself with older architectures like AMD Phenom II, Bulldozer, Intel Core 2 etc. "-march=native" in the make.conf file was the culprit, IIRC, and replacing it with core2 or amd's equivalent option solved it. I, instead, put "-clang" in my package.use file, for firefox. No problem with Firefox builds since then. The CPU of the machine in question is in deed an old AMD. It's good to know the reason for that build-failures, thanks a lot. I certainly will stick to "-clang" in my package.use. Greetings, Carsten

Cheers, Wol As the error says, you generally need to do a full update before you can depclean. What error(s) do you get when trying to update firefox or thunderbird? What happens if you try to update @world? Both firefox and thunderbird seemed to die for no obvious reason. Where do I find the logs? But because depclean complained, I did blah-blah-with-bdeps, which emerged (or tried to) 21 packages, but firefox/thunderbird still bombed, and then --depclean still complained. So I don't know what's going on, but basically Mozilla won't emerge, and I don't know why ... Cheers, Wol Did the other 19 package emerge OK? Are the mozilla progs crashing when running, or when emerging? If emerging, the log is just console output, as indecipherable as we know it sometimes can be. If they crash when running, try running from command line. Some time ago on one of my machines Thunderbird and Firefox stopped to compile with USE="clang". As they can be build with gcc I never digged too deep into that problem but maybe it's worth a shot. Greetings, Carsten

I need a GUI client to parse 100 K of HTML that replaces 1 page of text.
These aren't just plain spammers, but businesses that I deal with regularly.
It seems that plaintext email is going the way of cursive writing.
Any suggestions for an MUA that can spit out rmail to port 25 ?
I use Most to browse e-mails & Gvim to edit replies.
If there's a link to goto an HTML version,
I R-click on the URL & choose to open it in Firefox.
If there's no link, but it's presented as HTML,
I copy-paste the URL to Firefox & open it similarly.
Mutt is so good, I'm willing to take this slight detour
rather than wade thro' the mud of a GUI client.

I startet migrating from Thunderbird to Mutt a year or two ago and it
took me a lot of searching through the interwebs re HTML.
Now I use www-client/w3m to represent HTML inline, anything fancy I open in
my main-browser. The mail is saved in a temporary directory. Pressing
'v', highlighting the 'text/html'-line an pressing 'm' does the trick.
From my .mutt/mailcap:
text/html; mkdir -p /tmp/mutt \; cp %s /tmp/mutt \; librewolf /tmp/mutt/$(basename
%s) &;
text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;
Kind regards,
Carsten
