You are likely right. When I reply here, it looks one way. When I hit |
| 72 |
forward before, it seems to behave differently, although it makes no |
| 73 |
sense to me why it would do that. I use Seamonkey as my email client. |
| 74 |
The biggest setting I have set, send text only to gentoo.org. |
| 75 |
Everything else is set to the default. Other than that, I'm clueless on |
| 76 |
how and why it does the silly things it does. lol |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
Still hoping someone will step up before that package dies on the vine |
| 79 |
so to speak. |
