Chuckle, but I do use fetchmail and procmail, it handles all the spam and 
virus scanning before it dumps it into /var/spool/mail. I have a bit of 
bash and inotifywait watching that directory, and telling kmail to go 
get the mail from there when there is new mail if its real mail.  So I 
am not sitting here watching paint dry while kmail is out on the net 
getting new mail.  That time delay with a frozen keyboard caused me to 
take the job of pulling the mail away from it.  And that gives me more 
time to concentrate on the real job, reading the mail. And replying to 
it if its about something I do know about. Or in the present case, 
harassing the OP.  Who seems not inclined to clarify what he alluded to 
when he announced both the move and a new version.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
