Tim,
I had no difficulty loading Richard's Geemail Example from Bob's Super Swiki. I used the 'Load a Project' window you get from hitting the FIND button in the Navigator flap. I'm running 5905 with all of the packages that come with it fully upgraded and only BFAV2 (and its dependencies) installed. I'm on Linux with a few week old VM built from Ned's CVS branch.
