Ric Here, if its running, it will intercept an outgoing email and trash the password used to access the server, pop up a requester asking you if you'd like kwallet to manage it for you. You can click yes, it then askes for the password, and when you click on whatever is the continue button after entering the passowrd and you will be greeted 1 second later by your monitor announcing a powerdown in 5 seconds, but 2 seconds later the bios pops up checking the memory in preparation for a reboot. You can click cancel and the sending of the email is blocked, likewise if the requester is just closed. And BTW, if you click yes, that message is gone forever & the reply will have to re-composed after the reboot & restart of kmail. Its dead Jim, now can someone pick up the body and get it out of fedora? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
