Thanks. I meant "extracted" not unpacked -- taking the binary deb and extracting it somewhere else. I tried a bit to do what you suggested, but I'm not clever enough to pull it off and I don't have the inclination to put in the time on that. Fortunately gotmail is just a perl script so I was able to edit it to add the "--insecure" option to not check the SSL cert which is what was failing. It's not like I get trusted mail over hotmail anyway -- it's my crap account. Temp workaround. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
