I'm sorry, Yes I'm talking about fetchmailconf - I'm having 
problems with how it's configured and was hoping someplace in 
there it would help me with my problme.  I've configured it by 
hand and it worked fine.  Then all of a sudden any attachments 
were limited and I was thinking maybe there was a limit to the 
attachment size in fetchmail (which there is).

I'd used fetchmailconf before and it lets you configure just 
about everything you could want but when I run it the display is 
wider and taller  then the screen.  I can pull it left and right 
but not up and down (well I can pull it down but that doesn't 
help).   If you've ever seen the config it's just boxes with 
words in it and you check things on and off or put in a response.  
These boxes are now so large they take up the whole screen.

I fixed my download problem - well not fixed it as my ISP 
(comcast.net) limits downloaded email to 80K so I need to talk 
with them.  But I would still like to  fix this size problem.  It 
may have all started when I got my 19" monitor (HP M900) and once 
I configured things for it I've had different display problems 
(like the login screen is so big I have to type blind).

I don't think I've got a Nortons control pannel anywhere on this 
system - I'm the one that did the Ximan Evolution upgrade and 
Ximan took over the computer, I'm about ready to blow everything 
away and reinstall RH 9 but then I'd be without all the upgrades.

Anyway any suggestions would be great and remember I'm a novice 
user and I need straight forward directions.

Thanks,
