Thomas McGuire and other have put sooo much work into it. > Did you check my email's user-agent string? It's "KMail/1.9.9" - the > last Debian STABLE KMail.

I do not want to go back to KMail from KDE 3.5.10 with all its instabilities regarding index handling, its IMAP related crashes and whatnot. Actually right now - okay on my laptop with POP 3 still - I do not remember when KMail or Kontact that is lastly crashed. Granted for office use I still have Lenny, but part of the reason just is that I do not yet want to put Squeeze on the workstation at work unless the X.org radeon KMS woes are sorted and I have the feeling that Squeeze is pretty much in freeze and stabilization phase. But then Lenny is still current stable and even when Squeeze is released, say end of 2010, maybe later, then Lenny will receive security updates for another year. Thus you can use a fully supported KDE at least till approx. end of 2011. Ciao, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
