Sometimes you should leave things in the users opinion. The "AJAX crap" Just works from everywhere. It doesn't help me at all if i have my emails via IMAP on my box, if i haven't access to that box. Anyways it's still the users preference and freedom to use what ever "crap" he wants. > That said, Konqueror's default KHTML engine can be persuaded to work with > GMail by faking browser identifiers or such.

Still interesting that this arbitrary peace of software works better than KHTML. I use what works and fits my needs. That is KDE in general, but thank god we can choose what we want. If WebKitPart does work better here, without the need to fake something, so may it be. The world will not come to an end. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
