Since he said he was running Linux, you should understand that Kontact is a Linux product, and no, it's not available under Windows. That said, I think it's unlikely OO will ever develop email clients. OO is primarily a Linux product although it has been ported to Windows and Macs. It's still largely developed by OO and some of the leading Linux vendors, and they don't need OO to have email, they already have Kontact/Kmail for those using KDE desktops and Evolution for those using Gnome desktops. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.
