I was talking about the Gentoo installer.  I'm thinking the OP is using
the installer to install Gentoo.  I'm not sure of it but it's possible. 
I noticed in one post that the OP seems to be using a text to speech
tool which may be the reason they are using a installer.  It may be
easier that way. 

Seamonkey does its own thing with email replies.  It seems to be based
on what others do and ignores what I've told it.  I manually requested
plain text for this one but to be honest, I'm not holding my breath on
it listening.  All emails going to gentoo.org or kde.org are supposed to
be plain text only.  It's been set that way for many years now and it
worked until a good while back.  I've done my part and told it.  I can't
fix it.  Maybe it's a feature.  lol
