Hey Barry,

Thanks for the ideas of things to try.  I guess I forgot to mention that 
this is a straight to the ISP connection.  I've set up my account on the 
thin client exactly like I would/did on my Win2K box.  I have sendmail 
running so that I get nightly emails from my server, but I'm not 
[intentionally] doing trying to set up this email through the server's 
actual sendmail.  Do Thunderbird/evolution et al need an underlying mail 
transport engine on the K12LTSP server to do their business?
