Is there a way to convert them to PS and view with gv?


openoffice 2.0.4

OP's point is that OOo is *really* thick and wasteful, just for
reading email.

(Of course, if you just leave it running all the time, minimized,
that would be fast. It would still be using lots-o-RAM, and if the
machine is on the low-RAM side, that might be wasteful.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
