I gave up on the kde breakage that never gets fixed by kde, and on this
boxen, and one of my more well-endowed cnc boxes its TDE r14.0.0.x all
the way down, so I am still running kmail 1.9, its had at least 99% of
all the kde bugs swatted. Its a fork of kde 3.5.

Which changes fast enough I have to learn it all over again everytime I
need to use it. Like adding captions and arrows, last upgrade uses a 1
pt font for text and I had a heck of a time blowing it up to a usable
size. I think there is an excedrin headache number for that. Has to
be... :)
