Thanks my friend, but if I can figure out how to do it, I am changing to 
Konqueror and Kmail.  I have used Firefox for 3 years.  It was easier 
for me to use.  But as I became more familiar with KDE, there are 
distinct advantages to using KDE packages, one being that-- I am older; 
my vision is not perfect.  In Firefox and Thunderbird, I am only able to 
default to larger fonts on one of them, on the other, I have to do it 
everytime I want to see better, and the basic program remains in smaller 
print.  I remember now it is Thunderbird that that is the case.  I now 
have a 22" monitor.  It allows me to increase print size without having 
to vertically scroll.  It is such a benefit to someone with eyes like 
mine.  Additionally, the KDE programs operate a lot faster.  Click and 
it happens.  I am sure I will notice the loss of some features, however, 
I would sacrifice a lot of niceties to not have to scroll or squint.  I 
only mentioned the benefits that I have noticed to plant the memory if 
ever it would benefit you.  Thanks again!  I am sure there are more that 
I haven't noticed yet.
