I want my MIME DIGEST???

y.sergi
 

Hiya.... e-groups.
I want my IOMUG MIME DIGEST back..... :-(((
Will that be possible with "e-groups"???
Or is e-groups just one more of those
"new" and "improved" liberal methods of
driving a populace insane?

Quoting Fred J. Keene and possibly previous message on 12/17/00 23:05.

What is the best way of sending a reply
to the whole group as well as to the original sender? I assume that
to reach the group I should add the address of iomug@....
Does it make any difference if I add this under TO: or if I put the
iomug@... address as a Cc: ?

Also, I am concerned that others replying to questions may not think
to send to the whole group and the rest of us will miss out on the
reply. Perhaps this situation is no different that it was
before....I'm just thinking about it now.

...Fred
I noticed the same thing and wonder if Mr Luffman may have any control
over this. If I select Reply all instead of Reply I get the sender and
the list adress. I would proefer to most often reply just to the list.

Hi Virginia;

What application was it?
It is probably an extention which can be found and turned off in the
Extensions Mananger control panel. They usually include the word "menu" in
the name of the extension, but not always the name of the program at least
the way you would search for it.
And sometimes a control panel or program installed in extensions. CP
for PPP Menu I believe, Program for Palm Desktop are examples.

New Entourage Question...

James A.Rodriguez
 

Hi guys (and gals)...

I've been using Entourage as my main mail client for about a month and
have found it almost entirely enjoyable.

One problem: in Outlook Express, when you delete a message from the
Inbox, it goes to the next unread message (next one down if you have it
arranged by Sent date). In Entourage, deleting a message takes me to the
next message above the deleted message, which is usually one I've
already read and decided to keep for awhile. I then have to select the
next unread message manually to delete or keep it (in OE I could just
press delete several times to get rid of all the unwanted messages going
down the list).

Is there any way to change this behavior to the more reasonable OE
behavior? I've searched through the preferences with no luck. Any help
would be much appreciated...

Thanks,
--James R.

Re: 7200/90 Power PC

Brent Pennington
 

Hi Stacey;

As for your old 7200, I believe www.everymac.com can help you out. The have
listings for (not coincidentaly) every Mac ever made, with production dates
and original and current resale prices.

As for your iMacs, you could be running into two problems. The first is
that there were several changes made with Mac OS 9 that made older versions
of certain software incompatible with it. One of the mail culprits is Adobe
Type Manager. If you have a version of ATM prior to version 4.5.2 it will
cause OS 9 to crash upon startup. Another troublesome application is Norton
Anit-virus. Again, you will have to have a recent version (ie. released
since OS 9 has been available) for it to work.
The second problem you could be running into, is that recently, Apple has
started making their system CD's machine specific. In other words, the disk
is designed to work only with the type of machine it came with. Usually,
this will mean that when you try to install something from a disk that came
with another machine, you will not be allowed to because the firmware is
not the correct type.

I hope this has been of some help.

Hi,

I'm looking to sell my old 7200/90 (you know, that odd,

RAM.
I read in a previous post there there was a site that did just this,
but did not get the URL.

Also, I have 2 iMacs: #1 is a 333/192 running OS 8.6, #2 is a 450/192
running OS 9.0.4. #2 has fire wire and DVD drive, while #1 does not.
I would like to upgrade #1 to 9.0.4 (via the CDs that came with #2)
but when I last tried the result was multiple crashes in every
application, including the finder on start-up. I gave up and did a
clean install of 8.6.

My question: Does this have anything to do with the DVD or Firewire
Extensions that are being installed? I wiped all those out and even
ran ConflictCatcher, but to no avail (CC's assessment was that Adobe
ATM was the culprit, but CC is another story)...Could this be an
Apple software piracy safeguard? Do I have to purchase a new copy of
OS 9 to install on #1, rather than using the CD's that came with #2?
Even though I personally own both computers (one personal, one for
business) am I supposed to maintain separate software for each
one--ethically and otherwise?

I realize this is a mouthful--thanks in advance for input,

BTW Sonnet now offers an upgrad path for 7200s
Rob,
Found them-thanks. wish I would have known about this $500 upgrade
before buying the new iMac. I've been waiting for these for two
years. Ouch.

IMHO this upgrade is not worth it, unless you have a significant investment
in "extras" on the 7200 - loads of RAM, PCI Cards, second hadr drive etc etc.

For not a whole lot more than $500 places like SmallDog Electronics, or
MacResQ will sell you an iMac which as a stand alone, not that expandable
computer will be way faster than the 7200 is going to be. They're not as good
as a new iMac, but the underlying architecture of them is way ahead of the
7200.

Then you've still got a 7200 to "retire" to other duties, like Print Server,
or your own local file server, or WWW server or somesuch.

Or to try and figure out how to sell <g>

I know, I have one in my basement, along with 2 6100s and an 8500. Currently
one of the 6100s is a more than admirable WWW server, although for speed of
processing FileMaker database requests on it is going to be replaced by the
8500 (with 300 MHz G3 card) shortly.

Yea, but even if we all agreed, everyone on the list would do the same
math, decide to let someone else send in their $1 and he would probably
not receive enough to cover the fee.

iomug@... sent the following at 12/18/00 7:03 AM

Sure, if we all did that Mark would pay that fee then pocket hundreds of
extra dollars each month! =) Remember there are a lot of subscribers on this

Outlook express

PAUL PAVLIK
 

Here some stupid email questions.

My system is upgraded G3 240 mhz w/ 8.6

On OE v 5.02, i would like to change a few settings. Or move to a different
email program. Even upgrade?

First of all, my memory allocation is 10mb. However it takes OE about 30
seconds to open a webzine or html mail.

I noticed that Netscape Messenger handles the same chore in 5 to 10 sec.

When I open up a ezine, i get an automatic connect to the inet. This is very
aggravating especially in our school setting. How can I turn this off?

All my other memory setting, disk cache etc are default.

When I click on new letter/reply etc, I always get a letter size for a 14 in
monitor. Thus I always have to drag it open further.

Receiving and Replying to egroup messages

Fred J. Keene
 

I just modified my membership to send individual messages rather than the digest. I had preferred the IOMUG digest before, because it came as just one message and opening the digest gave all the individual messages. I could then select the messages I wished to keep and transfer them to another mailbox. I have found no way to do this with the egroup digests. I use the utility Burst to extract individual messages from other digests, but Burst does not seem to work with an egroup digest. If anyone knows how to extract individual messages from an egroup digest, please let me know.

Thankfully, I find that individual egroup messages still filter into the same mailbox as my previous IOMUG digests... because [iomug] is still in the header of each message....and my previous filter looked for IOMUG in the header.

BUT...if I reply to a message it would seem to go only to the sender and not to the whole group. What is the best way of sending a reply to the whole group as well as to the original sender? I assume that to reach the group I should add the address of iomug@.... Does it make any difference if I add this under TO: or if I put the iomug@... address as a Cc: ?

Go to the eGroups web site and change your subscription settings from
receiving HTML messages to receiving plain text messages. When you do you'll
still get ads, but they'll be text ads instead of the banners you don't

With eGroups, if the list is setup to ban all attachments, HTML formatted
messages don't go through to the list. What happens is your formatted
message is stripped down to plain text, then eGroups applies it's own
formatting afterwards (and adds the ad banner).

My advice is to switch to plain text.

(My advice to Mark is to find a way to raise the money required for the fee

Quicktime 4.1.2

y.sergi
 

Hiya....
My Computer is a Macintosh Beige G3 minitower,
circa 1998, with 266Mhz, 128MB and OS 8.1

I went to the website of my favorite radio talk show host and decided I
wanted to try listening to the show online. A message from the website
told me, that inorder to listen online, I needed to download MS Media
player 6.3 for Mac (yuk), which I did. When I tried to use it, it told me
I needed a newer version of Quicktime (I had version 2.1). I went to the
Quicktime download site and downloaded the newest version ... 4.1.2. The
Quicktime Readme seems to be saying I can do almost anything with sound but
fly to the moon. Now, I'm wondering if I really need MS Media player 6.3
and is it possible I could use Quicktime 4.1.2 to listen to the talkshow,
instead? Media players and I are complete strangers except for opening
those sent-to-me sound and music files with SoundApp and MPEG players like
Real Audio which no longer seems to be free. All enlightenment is
welcome....:-)

I hope I'm in the right pew...:-)... I tried sending to IOMUG at the "old"
location and got an "unauthorized" rejection slip. So I'm assuming the
moving truck has arrived early at the new destination, known as "e" in my
nickname file. I'd heard the move wouldn't be complete
till January 1st.

NO, I do not want to receive individual messages as they just clutter

With other digests I use the utility Burst to extract the individual

new egroup digest.

The value to me in having separate messages is that I can select the
ones that I want to save, and then transfer them to another mailbox.
What mail client are you using? Eudora? Entourage? Outlook Express? or what?
The specific answer to your question depends on what mail client you have.

I use Entourage. I subscribe to a number of lists, some digest, some
individual messages. With all of them, I have filters or rules set up to
route the incoming messages to a folder set aside for that mailing list. To
me, that answers your desire to have the individual messages in a separate
"mailbox" or folder. You don't need the digest at all, if you route the
incoming mail to its own folder to begin with.

In Entourage, the mailing list manager can automatically burst incoming
digest messages. That's another option; receive the digest, route it to a
folder, and automatically burst it.

I wrote a script for Entourage that will burst a digest on request if you
don't do it automatically on receipt.

The program "Digest Viewer" might be an option for you, but you have to save
the digest as a text file external to the mail client.
