Video clips in e-mail

[David Mangani]

Thanks to you both for such a speedy reply. I will look into both of the 
options you mentioned. I was hoping that this would be relatively 
simply. LOL. Well, I guess it may still be. I'll check out the software 
and see. FYI I am using a super el cheapo Ezonics- EZcam. It was a 
natsty thing to get working in windows too! RH9 is really great. The 
more I use it the more I like it. I literally did NOTHING! I plugged in 
the camera, opened gnome meeting and clicked the little camera Icon and 
it just simply worked. Very cool.


Thanks again to both

Dave.
