We investigate the thermal response of CO WDs accreting He-rich matter directly from their companions in binary systems. Our results suggest that the He-channel cannot provide progenitors for majority of "normal" SNe Ia.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, contribution to the Proceeding of IAU 281 "Binary Paths to Type Ia Supernovae Explosions"
