I had to use t-bird one time when I was in upstate MI for about 90 days and 
forgot to transplant all my scripts to the lappy before I left.  I guess its 
alright, but kmail seems to do more of what I want to do.  I fixed that the 
day after I got home for obvious reasons.

In that dept, to each his own I guess. :)
