That's what's so frustrating about KDE and why I'm abandoing it.  Kmail is 
an excellent mail program - handles mail lists well, handles multiple 
accounts, good filtering - something others don't do.  Knode is a decent 
newsreader.  However, KDE is an oinking pig.  It's a Window enviroment with 
the emphasis on WINDOWS!  Windows has blue screens of death  - KDE just 
decides to quit working and you have to remove all in /tmp, delete ~./kde2 
(actually save it somewhere, then delete it) and put all your apps back in 
it!  And like windows it does it at the most inopportune time.  I'll be 
checking out xfce and Gnome.
