Thanks Richard, I've asked around on the Mint forums to see if anyone
knows more about upgrading libsoup - I am not comfortable with
compiling source or building my own packages these days.  I haven't
done that since I started out with Slackware which is showing my age...
I don't like to break the apt/yum processes.  I am really just getting
started with Mint. I have  a 2013 Mac Pro and just got so fed up with
OS X and Apple that I loaded Mint on it and am loving it. (I think it
might have something to do with Apple being a trillion dollar company
;-)  )
I have a windoze workstation sitting right next to me as well with
outlook and my calendars on it, so I an wait.

Regards
Bill
