I'm not sure that's the link you wanted to include... I see it as starting with "imap://" which I'm guessing maps to your mail server

(or maybe it just doesn't agree with my browser)

EDIT: here is the AP story about the find

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,10196807%255E663,00.html

the upshot of this story seems somewhat to be that the miner was a bit... screwed

What was not in the news, but what also happened in Conakry-Guinee during the week-end:

A Belgian diamond dealer, working already for a long time in Guinee, was killed and burned. Apparently some accounts still needed to be settled.

It is a strange world,
