Greetings; Due to a long standing bug in kmail that causes it to quit fetching new mail occasionally, I've been doing the fetch with fetchmail. Is there any way I can tell kmail there is new mail so that both are not fighting over the /var/spool/mail/root file? I think there have been some instances where one or the other had a lock, and I'm missing an email from time to time. This is something that would be a piece of cake on my old now dead amiga, I'd just use arexx to send it a message, thereby achieveing synch between the apps. Now in linux I think dcop is the tool, but no idea how to go about using it. There are no manpages for it. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
