I think I had it all, and haven't added anything tde related recently.

Yes, and because in my excitement over its working, I neglected to start 
~/bin/mailwatcher after the reboot, which starts fetchmail for me, and 
links the incoming email directly into kmail, I did not get the first 
thank you message back, and just now sent another when I saw there had 
been no incoming while I was taking a morning nap.  Fixed, 31 fetched 
when fetchmail was launched.

Can I blame it on oldtimers? :)  If you're ever in north central WV USA, 
I've got an imitation (I'm a DM-II so its near beer) hand cooler for 
all.
