Re: FW: Reading egroup messages
Allen Watson
The ads from Egroups are an annoyance to many. I run a couple of other
groups on Egroups, so I've been over this ground. If the group sponsor is willing to pay a fee to Egroups, something like $5 to $10 per month, they will eliminate the ads. If it is enough of an annoyance to us members, perhaps Mark could ask for people to volunteer to send $1 a month to him, and he could pay Egroups to leave the ads out. In my groups, nobody thought it was worth money to get rid of the ads, so we live with them. For users of Outlook Express or Entourage, I can give you an AppleScript that will strip out those ads. See my web page (URL below). On Sat, 16 Dec 2000 19:10:48 -0500, Patrick Benton <ptrkbenton@...> wrote: -- Peace be with you!

It is faster, smoother, with many key features that were missing. Its spell checking integration with Office is more complete than before. It uses the AutoCorrect feature now. Just like in Word, an underlined word can be corrected with the use of a contextual menu. Then, you have the PIM (Personal Information Management) features, meaning a To Do list, notes, a calendar, and an improved address book (on steroids too). It works with the dictionary that ships with Office 2001, meaning that you can define words as you write or read e-mail. It links calendar events, e-mail messages, tasks in the To Do list and notes together. 2. Is it freeNo. As Dale said, it is part of Microsoft Office 2001. 3.

iCab Questions
BrianS
Hello, I'll try to be brief...
I'm on a 68k mac, using the 68k version (latest) of iCab's browser. It's really nice but.... * Any file that is downloaded as a jpeg or other pic file type is sent as an application which, when clicked upon, generates the old -192 (PPC app on a 68k) dialog... WHY? Is there no 68k code in their fat binary to handle this type of download? my only work-around, so far, is to run Navigator (boooo!!! ). please, any ideas? TIA All the best, BrianS |

Mail Probs
BrianS
Hello,
For the last seven days I've been on Sprint.ca for my internet connection. The helpful folks there gave me smtp.sprint.ca for the smtp (outgoing) mail address. Every letter I have sent was returned to me as 'undeliverable', four days after having been sent. This morning, after being told by Sprint ("we don't support macintosh with technical service"), that it was "probably a TCP/IP problem" on MY end, I went back and switched the smtp address to "mail.sprint.ca" and all is well. Whaddya know? I sent letters to a lot of people, so , NO, I haven't turned rude, or disappeared, and i apologize for the rants I may have sent to my LISTSERV digest people regarding "why aren't you remailing my posts?" Now I know. Sorry for the rants, inconveniences, and, invisibility. It's rather awful to be on an amazing machine (which the Mac is) in a world of PC "techs" whose orthodox reply is "download another Windoze98" or whatever, what a pathetic bunch... All the Best.

Re: Reading egroup messages

I use a program called "Digest Viewer". I save the entire message in a folder called, very cleverly, "Digests". I subscribe to 2 other groups that are digest form. In "Digest Viewer", go to browse folder and the the messages appear individually. It also groups the messages (all those RE: the same subject are together). I think I found it at download.com.

Re: Entourage???
J. Hendricks
Hello Members,I have a question regarding the font selection for egroup messages. Can I choose them on the web site? or am I stuck with this trashy little font. It appears to ignore my settings on my machine. Eudora prefs are blown off. Am I really going to have to turn off accepting HTMl formated messages? I really do not have time for this. So list gurus do your thing and illuminate me. TIA All -- J & W. Hendricks As for me and my house, We will serve the Lord. Thank you Jesus; Praise you for your Love.

FW: Reading egroup messages
Patrick Benton
I receive my IOMUG mail via OE 5.02, at Earthlink.
Beginning today, most of the individual messages I've received (like this one) have included an eGroups Sponsor ad. They take forever to load, and I'd rather not have to deal with them. Since the group's move to eGroups, I've been more than a little confused. I had hoped to wait until we'd officially left the UTA site before making any drastic changes to my subscription. Is there some re-setting of my OE prefs that I need to attend to ? or should the ads be eliminated on the sender's end of the posts? -Patrick Benton ---------- From: "Fred J.

Greetings, I guess this would be a question for Mark Luffman, I don't know.
I received the e-mail saying how the digest was moving to egroups & I have been receiving it. In that email I was given the web site & a password. I was able to access the web site OK. However, when I tried to sign in, I kept getting that I was using the wrong password. I tried several times to make sure it wasn't due to a typo, but it wouldn't accept the password I had been given. What do I do now? Thanks. Zentura Find the best deals on the web at AltaVista Shopping! |

Greetings, I, too, am looking for a resume template. However, I have AppleWorks 6. Is there one hiding in there somewhere? If not, are there any suggestions or does anyone know of any freeware?
Also, I have been trying to learn how to create links, so when I'm sending someone an e-mail & I want to refer them to a web site they can just click on it. I have been told to just type in the web site & I've also been told to put Chevrons around the web site. ie: <> I have tried both ways but can't get it to work. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

I am not sure why you ar having your problem, but when I have made pdfs I
would use a post script print driver and print to file. Then using distiller I would make a pdf of the .ps file. I have acrobat 3 on my mac and this seems to work perfectly. I have Acrobat 4 on my pc and I have been able to print to file on a mac and copy it over to my pc to make a pdf with 4 and never had a problem. dd _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card |

Re: dragging items across hard drives

wrote: Some of my Macs have more than one internal hard drive. When draggingNot per se. You need to use something besides the Finder. An AppleScript would probably suffice; something that works with contextual menus might be the best. You would select a file, Control-Click it, and then pick the option from the popup menu; it might be called "Just Move," for instance. The script would then need to let you navigate to the folder you want to move the file to. The great shareware application, FinderPop, already has such an action built in along with dozens of others.

Window Shade
A week or two ago, someone wrote to the list mourning the fact that since OS 9, we had lost the ability to roll up a window by double-clicking on its title bar. Someone else replied that you can still use the right-hand button on the title bar to collapse the window. I was in a rush at the time, but this has bothered me, so now I am writing to correct this person's impression. The ability to do WindowShade with a double-click is not lost, but you have to go set it. Go to your Appearance control panel and choose the Options tab. There, you can set it to "Double Click title bar to collapse windows."

Digital Cameras
Paul M. Hellings
A few weeks back I asked the IOMUG list for their collective opinion on
Digital cameras. After much research, I decided to buy a Kodak DC 290. It features a 16mb card a 3X optical zoom and 2 megapixel resolution. I paid $529 for it complete with rechargeable batteries, charger and AC adapter. After using it for a week or so, I just wanted to tell the group that it takes INCREDIBLE photos and the included software is excellent. Connected via USB cable, the camera "mounts" just like a hard drive. Photos can be dragged to your HD easily and quickly. It comes bundled with Photodeluxe 2.0 and Pagemill 3.0 I've been printing the output with an Epson 880 printer which has been very rewarding in terms of quality and speed. the printer is almost silent! To round out my Christmas purchases, I bought an additional 128mb of RAM for my bronze Powerbook....for $89 from MacZone. To anyone considering Digital, this camera is a very good choice in my opinion. Paul M.

Hello Members,
My first posting to "e-groups" after years of posting to IOMUG... I've recently seen some references to "Entourage" a combo e-mail client and PIM from Microsoft. I have three questions: 1. Is it any good? 2. Is it free 3. If the answers to 1 & 2 are "yes" then where can I get it? Thanks, Paul M.
