Go warsh yur fingers now Andy :), gno* is not my cup of tea. Neither is
the new kde. TDE, generally Just Works, they've fixed tons of bugs Ingo
K. couldn't be bothered with back in the day. He was always too busy
herding cats. :(
I been using kmail for nearly 20 years now, some original mail traffic in
my email corpus dates to 2002, so I know its warts well.
Thanks Andy C.
