OP's point is that OOo is *really* thick and wasteful, just for reading email. (Of course, if you just leave it running all the time, minimized, that would be fast. It would still be using lots-o-RAM, and if the machine is on the low-RAM side, that might be wasteful. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid?

However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFR0leS9HxQb37XmcRAugAAJ9YHwxIdmKOxgG/4b8fMgETOIeZ/QCeNqqQ PC/vOs9ZT5mKKIRzA4U/Vy4= =4Fjk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
