That did the trick! No errors, and correct dates in Netscape. Thank
you very much!
Now, if only I could get Netscape to default to composing and displaying
as plain text emails, I'd be much happier. Actually, I'd be much
happier if I had Kmail back. But it is completely broken in Sid, and
has been for a number of weeks. Oh well... it will turn up eventually,
or perhaps I'll try out Gentoo after all...
Cheers,
Rasjid.
