I've been swayed towards qpopper.... Anyone anything adverse to say about it?
Yep, I hate the flaming thing. Compile-time configuration and security problems while I was working with it. It is only marginally better than the UW one.
You really want to be looking at either solid or courier, I think, depending on your current setup, how much work you're willing to put in and what features you want.
Hi Folks
Do we have any experts on using klyx - The GUI frontend to lyx. I have been asked to assemble the tools for writing a user manual and we will need to be able to export html, pdf, and others. Having written a page or two under klyx, I can find no easy way to export the various formats. The klyx docs are not particularly helpful in this area. (Other questions in the pipeline)
Or should we be looking at an alternative set of tools ? The number one criteria is an easy to use GUI frontend, and the ability to generate the afore mentioned formats.
Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,
One option is to use something like Cocoon (xml.apache.org/cocoon/). You write the source document in XML (for which there a vast number of editing tools, open source and commercial, linux and windows). You can then use Cocoon either offline or running through a web site to spit out pretty much any format document (html, text, pdf, svg, ...).
Andrew.
