Yes and he replied to me off-list and I foolishly replied to him off-list. But what he wants to do is possible. I have included my off-list answer below: * Alessio 'mOLOk' Bolognino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [02-27-07 17:24]: [...] > That's right, but doing this I lose the possibility to save my > outgoing > messages in the "Sent" directory of Gmail. I save/archive my outgoing mail on my local box and use gmail as an archive for incoming mail. But you can have your cake and eat it too, just set a tag on gmail for mail you generate (your posting addr). Then you can copy those to your gmail 'sent' record. Iiuc gmail doesn't use folders/directories, they just tag everything and display it so you see it in groups. any outbound mail not going to a mailing list that you monitor via gmail, you can bcc to yourself at gmail. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/
