For those authors working on E-mail programs: kcmemail is available in a 1st iteration appearance in CVS under kcontrol/email. Please check it out and let me know what is missing for what you need for BASIC functionality. Advanced functionality that is not likely to be common across e-mail clients or other programs needing this information should be application-specific. Of course, to read the info read KGlobal::dirs->findResource("config", "kcmemailrc"); probably with a KSimpleConfig. --- Preston Brown Systems Engineer pbrown@redhat.com Red Hat, Inc.
