Please limit lines to about 72 characters. I get tired of re-formatting mail composed on broken MUAs Almost all recent ones are broken in that they don't really send plain-text, but assume that the reader's MUA will deal with it. Mine does, but, when I reply, Emacs assumes that 'text-plain' really means 'text-plain'. First order answer is to look at the halfaq at: http://www.freebsd.org//gnome/docs/halfaq.html It has information on what files to edit and how to edit them that will most likely resolve your problem. -- R.
