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.
