All,
I'll keep this short and simple. The TDE project needs your financial
support to continue hosting the services critical for further development.
This year we are have fallen significantly short of breaking even on the
monthly expenses needed to keep TDE online and under active development;
these expenses primarily consist of electricity for the TDE servers and
Internet bandwidth. I have been covering the shortfall for several years
now, but it has become a great strain over the past few months. If you
would prefer to offer financial rewards for fixing specific bugs, that
works too, but the bottom line is we need additional financial support to
avoid further service cuts that could slow / stop development.
We are not in a position to outsource portions of the TDE infrastructure
beyond what has already been migrated to external systems such as the
mirror distribution system. Attempting to split up the remaining core
would simply incur even higher bandwidth costs than what we already have,
and altering the stable, running system at this point could end up halting
development entirely.
Finally, I'd like to personally thank those individuals who have donated,
are hosting portions of the TDE infrastructure such as the mirror system
and backup site, or have been actively working on TDE development over the
past year. Your contributions are much appreciated, and TDE would not be
possible without them!
If you can, please donate to the TDE project here, and thanks!

Hi
Paypal sucks. I wanted to pay with my spanish credit card. The interface
which allows me to pay without logging in, asks me for a city (ciudad)
and a province, however whatever province I chose (I live in Madrid,
province Madrid) is refused.
Could you please talk to the paypal guys?

Timothy:
I have or had a paypal account that I haven't used recently, as in 45
days or so, but all of my attempts to login and donate, I am always
stuck at the spinning wheel wait screen, either after hitting enter
using ff's password linked phrase, or clearing the and re-entering it by
hand. Same result.
I am a convert to the TANSTAAFL phrase since RAH made it famous several
decades ago, and I have been the recipient of your largess long enough I
should pay the rent, as much as I can afford on SS. But after 15
minutes, I'm still looking at the please wait spinner. And a page
refresh, f5, just continues the spinner.
If you are in the US, PM me with a USPS address, and I'll have my bank
send you a check. I think the day after Christmas business has crashed
paypal!
Cheers and thank you Timothy, Gene Heskett

Let us hope it's because PayPal is so busy with everyone making
donations to Trinity! :-)
(BTW, I did a donation to Trinity via PayPal right after receieving
Tim's second notice (Thanks for the reminder, Tim),and it Just Went

Cheers and thank you Timothy,

The problem is that the spell checker entry in the tools menu has disappeared,
so I have been unable to run the spell-checker.
But there is the workaround of adding an icon. Perhaps the icon could be

I'm up to date, Lisi, and the spell checker is there, in the toolbar of

in the main kmail toolbar. And it functions in the composer unless too
many mistakes have caused a shutdown. Whats missing is a marker in the
toolbar icon, like turning the green checkmark red to indicate its
disabled. So we have no indicator of its operational status.
Another "bug" I might lodge, is that if you have added a word, like your
name, to the ok list, it still hi-lights your name in red. But I've not
been sufficiently annoyed about it to file a bug.
Perhaps I need to lower my daily dosage of St. Johns Wort?

I think the best is to describe your problem in a bug (as you mentioned).
Missing icon is not a bug, you can label it feature request (even if it was
there before)
I have the spell checker active in kmail and in this news reader and it
spellchecks while typing, which is really nice, highlighting all improperly
spelled words. I am not sure if I can set up a different language though,
which might be of interest at some point of time.

Yes, it does that. And I agree that that feature is great. But it can also
if asked actually run correcting spellings as does a word processor
spell-checker. This is a great time saver. It asks before every correction,
but cab correct the same error all the way through the document. This is
what there is no menu entry for any more when there always used to be one.
The fact that a workaround exists in the form of an icon is great, if too
Windows like, and it would have saved me a lot of time and angst if I had
taken in that fact sooner, but I prefer working from the keyboard.

There are those who like icons and those who like the keyboard. The other
developers clearly agree with you that the spellchecker is fine and needs no
work. You yourself obviously don't use this facility at all - only the red
highlighting.
Hence my original suggestion that it might be something that those of us who
