I can certainly appreciate your feelings as a maintainer Jonathon, however it would be very nice to have an email agent that could grab everything needed to reproduce the page or pages you are working on into a package list then applied as attachments to the email. Maybe that function is available and I just don't know how to use it? Something that would effectively tarball it all up for use as an attachment in kmail/whatever would certainly be nice. Not a requirement, but one of the bells & whistles. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
