[pskmail] Re: Updated iso

Hi Rich,

Thank you very much, this looks like an excellent howto.
This belongs on the wiki, I can paste it in there if you wish, better
still if you do it (as you will get the credit for your work then).

I don't have that windows os here but it would be interesting to try
working pskmail this way, it looks very easy.
