<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks alex for the input.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately I am stuck here at work with this
Outlook thingie.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thunderbird can receive but not send messages due
to the mail/proxy server</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>....router, windoze mania.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So are many great OSS handicaped.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I have subscribed to the list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And yes, I am reading (until now that is) through
the archives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I didn't quite get it where can
the "reply" or "reply to list" be selected.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, about gz & bz2...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know they are quite different. Thing is that
unpacking on the CLI is way way</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>faster (maybe by a factor of 10 or more) than in
konqi.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If i enter a bz2 in mc the speed is allmost as if
it was a gz. Then just copying its</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>contents to some place is a breeze. </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>I also noticed allmost no difference between</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a gz </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>or bz2 in a
image viewer </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>called AcdSee for MS which is
comercial which i can't</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>nor want to use </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>( it
can view the contents of archives).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So the CLI bz2 program (&tar) are quite fast. I
guess the libs involved in kde for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this task are not extremely effective at showing or
extracting these archives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanx again.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
