Oops: (Was:here's a shot at some extra KDE2 stuff)



Heh.  As Marc pointed out, Ithe attachment didn't go through.  Originally it 
was my fault, not KMails - I simply forgot, however unfortunately, there is a 
problem with KMail and attachments, so my foot is squarely in my mouth.  It 
seems to work beautilfully other than that.  The problem iseems to be in 
registering the kio_uiserver.  It hangs on that waiting for something to 
respond.  However, when I killed it, idetached from that operation nicely, 
and saved this letter into ~/.dead-letter and recovered it upon kmail 
startup, so it seems robust in its underlying appcach.  I'll send the 
attachment from another mailer (sniff)  

<everyone can now have a good laugh at my expense - but hey, I contributed. 
;) >

regards,
Christian.
