To be honest kmail is just my personal preference & I dont know the moz email
client particularly well. Kmail does everything I need (and then some!) and
integrates nicely into kde. Similar reasons for konqueror. I do prefer the
rendered pages under konq to moz and it integrates nicely into kde.

WRT the date of the talk - I will need to check with Mike when the next RUG
meeting is. IIRC it is the first wed of each month?

Regards

Tim
