Keep a Linux virtual box going in a primary Windows env
Run your email program in that.

Hmm ... that might work
Distro suggestion? Considering I'm just looking for something to act as a "driver" to support a single app, what's a good small one? And when you say "virtual box" do you mean that generically or "virtualbox.org"?

Yeah, just finished installing it
Now I just need a good, minimal distro to put in it.
Feh ... We've got a good connection at work, I'll just pull the regular Ubuntu. Been meaning to check out 10.10 anyway.

Woo! This is schweet
Full install of Ubuntu 10.10 in Virtualbox, seamless mode. Syncing my inbox now.
Haven't tried copy-paste yet, but the docs say it will work.

Glad to be of help
Payback for the lightly breaded fried in butter chicken breast recipe.
My TL roasted it in butter in the toaster oven the 2nd day around, even better.

Coolio
BTW are there any activities planned for the morning after? Not trying to wrangle an invitation or anything, just wondering what time I should plan on getting back to my parents' place.

Tight timing on the morning after
We are staying in the hotel that night.
I'd love to get together for breakfast, but then I have to take the tuxes back (I did a single rental of 5 of them), and then go to the shore, where we then go cruising on a big boat for a few days.

We'll be around until 11 or 12 Saturday morning
Then we start the drive back.
Should be a fun trip: we're visiting DC, Annapolis, Swarthmore, and Amherst the preceding week.
