Huh? I get greyscale toolbars which is what you get under
unix. There is no xbm support so the standard B&W toolbars are
impossible.
OK, maybe what I saw were downsized toolbars, which made them look
ugly? I'm not sure if they're b&w or greyscale, but they sure are
ugly as hell!

I think these are xbm and hence not implemented. They need to be
converted to xpm.
Hmph.

Does it work under nt?
I forgot to try it.

Yes! I'm hoping this will get fixed one way or another.
And the above value is wrong. What I actually get is 71 x 19!

This will not be fixed for 21.0.
Yeah, but it should be removed from the menu under Windows, if it does
not work. That's all I meant.

You can use smtpmail.
Then it should be set up by default...
