KDE 4.3 Kmail missing content

[Rob Wright]

Donn,

It wasn't your advice that got me into trouble, I was already deep in it 
anyway. I guess I am kind of angry, drug my feet before upgrading and now I'm 
kicking myself.

I'm am going for the complete re-do. This is my computer that I work on at the 
office 8 hours a day and if it's not right I'm not productive. Reinstalling from 
scratch might take me 45 minutes, maybe an hour. Slow Friday so....

Thanks,

Oops. Sorry if I got you into a mess.

You can also mean it in the most angry way possible : I do. Jaunty has been a 
horror-show. This could be because I jumped to 64bit though.

I just don't know. There are probably a few clever dpkg and aptitude commands, 
but I'd go for the knife and cut out all the bad stuff -- reinstall if you 
need that machine to work now. If not, then stick around for some other advice 
or a lucky break and wait for Karmik - that's pretty much my plan at the 
moment.

Good luck,
