Cia, Some of the dll files get put in the windows/system32 folder, while some get put in the program files/e-sword folder. I usually put a copy of both into each folder, that way I know that I got the files where they're supposed to be. Then, using the winecfg program, you have to setup an override on two of those dll files: riched20 riched32 Both need to be set to native. To setup the override, you simply click on the Libraries tab in the Wine configuration window. Then scroll to the above dll files, click add. Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. :) later, Chad On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 12:21 AM, Cia Watson <ciamarie at my180.net> wrote: > I'm replying from my F7 laptop, and it's not putting the original > message in the reply using claws-mail, hmmm (unless it appends it but I > can't see it?)
