That's all the rm-troll has *ever* done. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he garotted another passing Liberal.

We have been using kmail and cups for the last 6 years (ever since Slackware 10.0 which came out in 2003) and we've always been able to print FROM it. As I said before, the problem is not in kmail, but in "kprinter", which must be setup to use the "cups" printing system. -- ******************************************************************* ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

That's correct, the KDE devs may bortch a few steps sometimes but at least (unlike their G challenger) they tend to limit the funk from kde into kde. Besides, please note that printing an email always has seemed monstruously nonsensical to me ,-)

However, sometimes someone writes a real message that actually has paragraphs, and who knows, maybe even chapters! That's nice, and also worth printing out. Aaron W. Hsu |
