No, there both alread set up and have used them both.  The other issue as I mentioned to Nils in a reply just now is the format preventx me from reading the mail full screen as I do in web mail. Which cause me a great deal of eye strain and I even get that with web mail if I stay at it too long. I checked the archives today and saw that my replies are threading nicely and found one that isn't line wraping at 72. Not sure what's causing that but I don't think it's on everything. All the replies I read with my comments show it is line wraping correctly.  Thanks for the offer.  Now, to google for "firefox-bin hogging all my cpu". Funny, as I was typing the last sentence and moving the cursor to edit some of my mistypes something started up 2 additional instances of firefox my home page but without all the tabs I have opened.  This page went dead at the same time and cpu usage was again in the 97+% range. Got any suggestions on or off list, please do. This
 never use to happen.
