My apologies about the bad mail etiquette. I've been migrating from
MacOS 9 and I have not been completely able to replace the functionality I had in email. I have several email accounts that I have to respond to as from that email account. I've been able to get sylpheed works (as of today, but I'm still sorting out the right settings so please pardon the intermediate mess), but up until then I've had to respond via a web page interface my email host provides. I was not aware that the emails were going out in less than clean form, as the web page interface did autowrapping for me.

Ok, good advice that I will explore. However, is it that OF 1.0.5 can not read HFS, or is that it can not read Apple Partition Maps (before even getting to an HFS partition)?

thanks,
