[Sussex] Debian install ?

[Gavin Stevens]

Hi Steve,

Something odd has been happening with your posts recently (only yours - no 
one else's):

The message below appears fine as I type this, but only displayed as 
"Image: attachment83.dat" & "Image: attachment85.dat" when I was reading my 
e-mails. Clicking on these links (which is how they appeared), brought up a 
screen referring to a "PGP Signature". Just thought I'd mention it. I'm 
using Opera 7.11, which seems to be working very well.

Gavin.
