I don't like 'auto-anything'. Just a couple of hours ago I lost my bookmarks in my NT2K WS. All except for the NS toolbar on top, whatever it's called. Tx to installing an USB Epson 680 inkjet using some fancy auto thingum. That were a lot of bookmarks that went to greener pastures! I don't like auto thingums by whatever name <s>. Things like "Mutt does not update these files, yet." make me nervous. Talking about nervous. The ol' 3.4 one says: nisser:~$ mutt -v Mutt 0.95.3i (1999-02-12) Copyright (C) 1996-8 Michael R.
