This whole correspondence on the matter of posting using the conventions applied by the majority of Linux users, must by now have become very embarrassing to the OP. I do hope that it has not reached the point where he is discouraged. If he is finding it difficult to install a complete Linux Distribution, one answer might be to find an email client that he can use on his Microsoft operating system. I didn't use Windows for very long before changing to Linux, and it is now long enough ago for me to have forgotten how it works, but I understand that Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, together with their associated email clients will work on Windows.

Yes, let's hope we haven't sounded too fierce.
I hope he will come and see the cuddly side of A-luggers at one of the meetings soon.

Firefox I find excellent. Mozilla I have, but have only used for testing web pages before the act of FTP, and I think the most up-to-date Netscape I have is N4, so I can't comment on that.
I use a different type of mail client, so can't say too much about the mail side of the browsers, but that being said, I've heard of a lot of people having problems with Thunderbird.
I might get round to trying it, but would have to arrange a POP3 mailbox first.
