Just one of the reasons I use fetchmail and procmail as background processes. Removing the fetching duties from kmail makes it a lot smoother and friendlier. By watching their activities of depositing incoming mail in /var/mail/*, kmail knows within microseconds as inotifywait sends kmail a message when /var/mail/* is closed. Editing this message you are reading has so far used one mouse click. Computers are supposed to save you work, not make it. Now I'll send this with a ctrl+return, and the + key takes me to the next unread massage. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
