I do. I highly recommend it.

However, I felt a little irresponsible after sending my original post which claimed that kmail & mutt get along fine. The fact is that I rarely use kmail, and when I do use kmail, I don't delete mail, or move letters around, etc., nor do I expect all the mail to be properly flagged as "read", "unread", etc. In other words, I suspect that their may be some issues, but it works for me. -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
