Hello All.
I was running Winlink Airmail fine for several months. Somewhere between
up grading Wine and Xubuntu I lost the ability to see what I was typing when
writing a new e-mail. The text is there but it cannot be seen. If I miss spell
and use the spell checker it will appear. When the spell checker is finished the
printing disappears again. This is a built-in spell checker in Airmail. When the
e-mail is received everything is as it should be, no problems reading it.
I am using Xubuntu 6.10, XFce desktop environment, wine 0.9.30 and Airmail
3.3.081
Any help would be appreciated.
Ed - N2AYK

Also possible a locale problem, e.g. something not being unicode compatible. Anything illuminating in the console running X or the xterm when you start your app that way? Set initdefault to 3 in /etc/inittab and start X manually if you have to. -- Declan Moriarty <junk_mail@iol.ie>

It's a pretty essential part of the conventional boot up process. BTW, your file didn't come. Mail it privately or give a download link. -- With Best Regards, Declan Moriarty.
