Yep. As I mentioned in my previous email, you could solve the problem in
several ways: you could use your Linux machine to do your mail via a
mail client; you could use it to do mail via a web browser; or you could
- the most complicated method of the three - use VNC to connect them,
run your Windows box via a VNC connection, and copy-and-paste into it
that way.
