Yeah, it's okay but just not optimal. I was wondering what changed. My setup is pretty similar and in case you're intersted, here are some tricks I've been using. Thunderbird * In the Composition & Addressing tab of account setting, clear "Compose messages in HTML format". * Open Config Editor under Preferences -> Advanced -> General. * set mailnews.wraplength to 9999 * set mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed to false * Install External Editor add-on and configure it to your favorite editor. http://globs.org/articles.php?pg=2&lng=en Ctrl-E launches the external editor. The only caveat is that there seems to be a race condition and if the machine is under heavy load the extension occassinally loses the edited text, so it usually is a good idea to save a copy in a separate file before exiting the external editor. It never happens on my desktop but happens on my laptop once in a blue moon. Alternatively, you can use mutt for patch sending / processing. With caches turned on (set header_cache, set message_cachedir), it's actually pretty useable w/ gmail. -- tejun -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
