Thanks. I ditched the known hosts file and it now works like a charm, 
and I have my mailbox back. At least while running nix here - I'm still 
unsure about the XP side of things.

This part, however, has me confused:

which came after the XP difficulty explanation, so I have to change a 
setting in windows? Presumably an xhost sort of thing?


and this part:


In case you don't know, to pass X over the newer ssh, you need to give 
it the -X option.


Actually, I knew nothing at all about that, so thanks, but surely not 
for fc3 ssh right? I didn't use -X just now and it's working.
In windows?
In cygwin?

Thanks,
S.
