Whoops. I had thought I'd mentioned that I was using the CVS tree. What 
I hadn't done was a 'make distclean'. I'll have another try after 
another check with 'cvs up -fd'.

As for colourful, well I've just upgraded to Mozilla 1.5, and sometimes 
the defaults aren't ideal. With luck this should now be plaintext rather 
than HTML, even though it seems to insist I compose the mail within an 
HTML-style window...

Thanks a lot for the pointer
