Hard To Read Messages Revisited
|
Richard McComas
A few threads back I posted a message on how the messages run off
the edge of my screen and I have to use the scroll bar to read them (PITA). I have since noticed that not all message do this. The messages from Steve Kusterer, Dennis Jacob, Philip Tamarkin, and Natalie appear in there entirety on the screen making them easy to read. The messages from John Renzetti, Scott Slater ,Charlie Nortion and Art Pentz, run way off the screen. Anyone have any ideas why some do and some don't? Richard McComas |

I use Outlook Express, if this provides a clue.

response using Eudora. I'm also making sure this line is long enough to either wrap or be pretty darn ugly. And the first hard return goes right here. Steve At 07:53 PM 4/20/00 -0700, you wrote:

If you're one of those with the run on sentances, and you use Outlook Express, you may want to try this:
From the menu choose Tools, Then choose Options, Then choose Send, Now look down where it says: Mail Sending Format No matter whether you have HTML or Plain text chosen, you should click on the Settings bar for your option, and your see that your word wrap should be no greater than 76. If you are using Plain Text and your Word Wrap is 76 or less and you're still having run on sentances, try changing to the HTML option. These are my settings: HTML Text -- Quoted Printable -- 8 bit characters in not selected and the last two settings: Send Pics... and Indent... are selected. I don't fully understand all that, but I am sure it has something to do with the Word Wrap settings. Hope this helps! Natalie |

Richard, have you played with your browser settings at all? Smaller font

size, full-screen window, more display resolution? The web site does not wrap the messages to fit your window size. How far are the lines extending to the right? Several words, or a whole paragraph's worth? Some of us do have our e-mail programs set to wrap words at 76 characters or so, which is an old standard from before Windows/Mac. It also happens to be much shorter than necessary these days, so that is why those messages are showing up fine for you. ..Geoff ----- Original Message -----

I am using Outlook, and have a filter setup for all messages that contain
"felder-woodworking" in the subject, they move into the Felder folder. To do this, go to the rules wizard under tools, setup a new rule. All messages from the group contain felder-woodworking in the subject. Scott Slater scott@... www.studiouw.com |

I looked at that mail message rules thing and I'm so glad you pointed that out! I knew that was possible, I had heard about it, but had never figured out how to do it. You just saved me a lot of time moving may messages around to various folders. I'm sorting all my Felder messages by subject for future reference. PS. What classes did you decide to take this summer, and when? I ended up not signing up for anything, and I'm already regretting it. But, my sister is getting married in September and the wedding will be in France. My whole family is going and that's taking up all the time and resources to spare. Thanks!

Hi Natalie,

I am going to the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine. I will be there the first 2 weeks of July. I will post some reports to Badger Pond when I am there. The school is run by Peter Korn and has a bias towards hand tools. I look forward to this experience. I have not had any formal training in woodworking, so it will be nice to learn some new techniques. I am sure that you will have a great time in France, I was there last year and had a nice time. I took the Chunnel train from London to Paris, this was fun, a very fast 3 hour trip. I know of a very nice hotel in Paris that is not too expensive, if you are interested email me. Have you decided on a Felder yet, I remember that you were interested in the BF6 when we last spoke. Nice to hear from you again, Scott.
