It's the one I meant. Sorry I didn't answer before. Too much going on. PS: If you get it all tweaked correctly, you can have Word attachments automatically translated into text for display while you're reading mail. It's a matter of entries in the mime.types and mailcap files. the wvware docs should be helpful. I forget, but I think you run Red Hat. On my Red Hat systems, this isn't set up automatically. In Debian it was, and that was a joy. Now, if I could figure out how to get PDF to work the same way! <grin> Good luck.
