but they are not directly viewable, they only show as a 
bunch of squares, btw, yes I am using KMail.

Well I've got it set up and activated, I went and reentered 
my email account passwords, all 5, but it only recorded two 
of them, I'll wait to see what happens after I've logged 
out and back in again. Generally I don't use Konq for web 
browsing so all my form data is in Firefox.

I'll see how it goes, but thanks, you got me to look again 
at KWallet. I'll see how it goes.
