Sure I have e-mail accounts at other web-based mail providers, and while they all are trying to compete by allowing more and more storage space, I really like the way Gmail does several things. I like how they automatically group threaded messages into conversations, I like the way their filters work, and how easy they are to set up, and I like that I don't have to pay extra to have my mail forwarded to another account, or to have POP access. That being said, this is not a gmail forum, it's for Fedora, so please don't take my comments to mean "lets start a huge flame thread about mail and news readers" or "my mail/news reader is better than yours". The intentions of the original poster were to offer up invites for anyone who wanted them. That was cool, and would certainly be appreciated some people. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
