Best of luck! OpenBSD is strange. On some things it is far ahead, while on
others, it is hopelessly antiquated if things are as you say. =(

Let me know if it makes a difference for you! =)

Ahh got it! Yes, that makes much more sense. I wrote a script that plugs into my
email program that enables me to download any link in an email and get the
download as an email itself. It's great! I get an email with a link to an
article, then I do not need to leave my email program. I just highlight the
link, press a button, and a minute later the article comes in text only mode, as
an email. Pure bliss! =D

This should not be underestimated! It is a powerful feature indeed!
