Dear Nepal,

When I type kmail into the terminal it opens Kmail.  There is even a 
small icon on the Kmenu bar.  By that I mean, when I place my cursor in 
the upper left corner of the screen, the Kmenu icon and various other 
icons appear atop the screen.  Now that I can open Kmail, there is a 
group of very small icons that include Konqueror, Kopete, Ksysguard, 
Add/Remove Programs, and Kmail on that bar.  Other icons on the 
drop-down are much larger.  I would like to include Kmail as one of the 
larger icons, but haven't been able to do so.  Normally those icons get 
placed on the drop-down by right clicking the item from Kmenu.  Kmail 
isn't working on the Kmenu tree.  I see the run option for Kmenu/Kmail, 
but I don't know what to type into the box.  Will you help me?  For 
instance is it something like, /usr/bin/.kmail?  TIA

By the way, I used a Thunderbird feature which increases the font size 
of the outgoing email.  Does that make the print too large when you 
receive the email?  If so, I will reduce it in future writings.
