I think I understand most of that, but it's one heck of a lot for a new user 
to get his head around.

I get unlimited access, in max 4 hr bloacks, for AU$5.85/month from the other 
ISP.

Probably would. But the ones that would be real tricky are the services where 
I'm registered by my email address.

This is my first attempt at replying to an email in sylpheed. 

I don't understand the editor. The backspace acts like forward-delete. I have 
to put it at the START of the stuff I want to remove, not at the end, and it 
works just like the Del key. I keep erasing the stuff I want to keep......

Sheesh! A whole paragraph disappeared just then when I pressed the Del 
key!!!!!!!

What gives? Have I set something wrongly?
