Had there been no changes to commit, I would have thought the response would have been instant, to have it lock up kmails gui for a minute or more, tells me something did get re-written, but I've no clue what. I wonder if excedrin has a number for this headache? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
