Is the scalable font added for use with Netscape, and the other fonts used 
with rxvt?

I am hope to duplicate your BL3 Xvesa setup and fonts in BL2, and would
like a scalable font for Opera, which is hard to read with just the Xvesa
builtin fonts.  I like lucida.  Which scalable font are you thinking of
using?

Those of us in the US mostly have unlimited service.  Any chance you
could, some day, give the choice of 'send now' or 'put in outbox (send
later)' or 'do not send (discard mail)'?  I was able to modify the script
to send immediately but not everyone will be able to figure that out.

I realized later I could also substitute the BL2 kernel.
