This install is about 3 years old. I used to use Kmail but I'm not sure if this is left overs from that or if Seamonkey uses it. I wanted to make sure before I did it though. I also wanted to loose all the Seamonkey, Mozilla, settings because I can not get adblock to work anymore. All it ever says is "pending". I wanted to keep email for sure and filters !IF! I can. I'll redo the filters if I need to. Won't copying the whole .mozilla directory copy settings and all? Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
