Re: [SLUG] How to tell Netscape to use kmail as its email client

[Tim Sutton <suttont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I will go and take a look for muttzilla.

What do I like about KDE 1.93?

-Multiple account support, with the ability to set  things up differently for 
each account e.g. do not include account X in standard send & recieve, 
selective use of interval checking (yes for my lan pop, no for my dial up).

-Nice rule / filtering interface with 

-KAB integration meaning I will hopefully be able to maintain 1 unified 
address book for all apps.

-PGP integration (no idea how to get PGP working, but nice to know it is 
there when I figure it our one day)

-nice little extras like being able to link to a .sig generating progam 
instead of just a text .sig

-I like the three panel tree / email list / email preview format

- GUI is good looking and straight forward to use, and most importantly 
uncluttered

- thread support per folder

- stable and hassle free.

Cheers, 

Tim
