Graphic Converter is great. It even makes web pages with thumbnail

Photoshop also has a similar feature. There are other apps that also
do this.

I'd love to find one that would convert my photos to a quicktime
movie slide show. This would make a simple way of sharing photos that
can be reviewed quickly, sent as attachments, archived, etc.

Seems like this is the answer to your prayers if you don't mind having all

For one thing, whenever I opened a mailbox, it invariably decided that I wanted
to view the most recent message. Unfortunately, I prefer to read my mail
from oldest to newest, especially my list mail, so that I can read the
questions before I read the answers.

I'm using Eudora Pro 4.2. I can order my mail boxes
by tapping the column heading to sort by that category;
and to have it in reverse order, hold down
the OPTION KEY while you tap the column heading
and it will reverse the order within that category.

Also, there are numerous settings determining
when mail is opened automatically or manually.

My personal experience was that I could manipulate my mail
and folders more robustly with Eudora, but it really is a
subjective decision best reached through experimentation.

*snicker*

My advice would be to try both the latest (free) version of Eudora,
and with Outlook Express 5. Give each one a few days or a week. You
may find that you really like one of these programs, or that you are
happy just the way things are.

Very good suggestion. It isn't a good idea to try something for less than
half an hour and judge it as unfit. You never know when something can grow
on you.

FWIW, I use Eudora 4.2.2, and like it very much (but have nothing
against the smart, good-looking folks on this list who use any other
e-mail client, including Claris E-mailer version 1.0. Please no posts
calling me a nincompoop).

That is for folks who do have the [ and ] keys on their keyboard layouts. My
French Canadian keyboard doesn't have that. The Entourage team messed up
something that worked for me in Outlook Express.

Seeker didst proclaim:

maybe O.E. has so many features that it's worth putting up with all its
idiosyncrasies?

I love OE, though now I use Entourage, which is the same as OE and then
some. I tried quite a few different mail clients before deciding on OE. The
others, though they had some features I liked, mostly annoyed me with their
interfaces. Frankly, I haven't really noticed many significant
"idiosyncrancies" with OE.

When I was using Windows, though, I used Eudora Pro (free version, with
ads). The Windows version of OE was a joke, compared to the Mac version. For
one thing, whenever I opened a mailbox, it invariably decided that I wanted
to view the most recent message. Unfortunately, I prefer to read my mail
from oldest to newest, especially my list mail, so that I can read the
questions before I read the answers.

From the Eudora Help -> Selecting a URL Helper

Selecting a URL Helper Application

Any string of text that Eudora recognizes as a "hot link," also known as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), is active. Active URLs in incoming Eudora messages are normally highlighted in blue text and blue underlining, and are often enclosed by left and right angle brackets, "< >". You normally double-click on a URL in an incoming message (or Command-click on it) to open the URL. This launches an Internet application that, for example, opens a World Wide Web location, transfers a file, performs a gopher search, performs a Ph, Finger, or LDAP query, etc. Typical URL prefixes include http, ftp, gopher, ph, finger, ldap, and more.

To specify what Internet application to use when opening a particular type of URL, take these steps:

1. Open the incoming message containing the URL, or preview the message in the message preview pane, making sure the URL is visible in the pane.

2. Hold down the Option key and double-click on the URL in the message window or preview pane. A standard file dialog is displayed.

3. In the dialog, select the application you want to use for that type of URL.

4. Click Open. The selected application is opened and goes to that URL.

From then on, when you select a URL of that type in a Eudora message, your selected application is automatically used: it opens and acts on the URL.

A sample URL is <>, which a web browser would use to take you to QUALCOMM's main Eudora web page on the World Wide Web. If you hold down the Option key and double-click on such an http URL in a Eudora message, you can then choose the default browser (or other application) that you want Eudora to launch whenever you select that type of URL in an incoming message. (You select the URL, once again, by double-clicking or Command-clicking on it.)

Okay, so it's also a Eudora Pro question...

I'm using iCab as my browser of choice. It is selected in Unternet Config. BBEdit goes to iCab automatically. However when I click on a link in an email (in Eudora), it opens and runs Navigator... :-(

I looked through every setting in Eudora, and there are no areas dealing with "helper apps". AND, I've checked the setting which gives "full compliance with OT/PPP"...so, now what? Where else would there be a setting or Preference? Inside Navigator, itself? Thanks for your considerations.

Not so!! You can get manuals at: <>

Subject: Maintenance manuals

A while ago, if you were clever/lucky, you could get Apple maintenance
manuals in pdf format (not handbooks) by downloading them from the APPLE
Europe ftp site. I got a couple (for old kit) which have proved invaluable.
However, with the passage of time I find the need for a couple more but the
old ftp address has come up with a blank. Obviously Apple are not
interested in giving folk easy access to these things because they are
meant for the official repair chaps but, for those of us who know how to
use a soldering iron and how not to die from intimate struggles with a CRT,
it seems a little Blairish to take them away. Does anyone know if they
have been moved and, if so, where to?

Open Remote Access, click on Options then Protocol and deselect "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP Applications."

My "These Are Special Times" Celine Dion CD finally arrived today from
amazon.com. I plopped the CD into the tray and waited for the CD to start
auto-playing. After several minutes had gone by, I checked the sound
volume and everything appeared fine. Checked the QuickTime Settings and
made sure "audio CD autoplay" was selected. Went to the desktop and saw
that the audio CD wasn't mounted. Checked the extensions folder and saw
that Audio CD Access, Foreign File Access, High Sierra Access, UDF Volume
Access and Apple CD/DVD drivers were all installed. I installed a data CD
which still did not appear mounted on the desktop. Apple System Profiler
did not show anything at the SCSI address (#3) the CD should be at. So I
had it scan the volumes again and this time it showed that the CD was
there but not mounted.

I manually ejected the CD manually with the CD drive button and inserted
my new CD again. I then restarted the computer, hoping that maybe the CD
would now mount since ASP did see that it was there. No Luck.

I haven't changed anything on my system lately. I know the drive was
functioning the previous weekend because I played Links LS 2000 and had
one CD inserted in the internal CD and one in my external player. I
haven't observed that the CD wasn't mounted because I usually use just
the external player for data and game CDs since it is faster. The
internal one I normally have used for audio CDs, except when I was
playing Links LS because I didn't want to have to switch CDs frequently
while playing.

I can't think of anything else that would cause my CD drive to stop
mounting audio and data CDs. I don't know if I'm missing a necessary CD
extension or if re-installing QuickTime or some other software would
help. I don't know of any other utility for mounting my CDs. The external
one is mounted with Toast software that came with the drive but has never
been setup to do anything with the internal CD player. I've only had the
external CD drive since September or October.

So. Anyone have any suggestions how to mount my CDs from my internal CD
drive? This is the CD player that originally came with my 6400/200. I'm
hoping it's not a dead drive and that I've just missed something that got
corrupted.

The GAP is giving away a free CD for the Holidays. I was pleased to find
that it was a Mac/Windows hybrid CD. Given that the GAP CEO is on
Apple's Board, I would hope so, but given Intuit's history, that is not a
given.

Since I would be the first to complain if it had NOT been available for
the Macintosh, I think it is only fair to let them know how much we
appreciate their support of the Macintosh.

It works with Eudora Pro 4.2.2!

Thank you Steph! You are the best.

Arrrgh! This happens to me too! Eudora Pro ALWAYS opens Navigator, although I have tried (really, really) hard to make it open Explorer when clicking on a link.

An answer would make a nice holiday gift!

How long does it take to get confirmation from the I/O MUG?

A separate issue from my last question deals with PowerPoint exporting
images when I try to export to a Web page.

When I uncheck "use PNG" in the Save As preferences, all images are saved as
GIFs. My photographs look terrible dithered. Is there a way to specify
that I want photographs to be saved as JPEG or is everything always saved as
GIF?

If PNG is causing my other problems that I mentioned in my previous e-mail
(see "PowerPoint Web Export") then I was thinking I could avoid using PNG.
But images look terrible without it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi I'm hoping someone working with Office 2001 can help me with an issue
I'm having with PowerPoint.

I have a presentation that includes a photo on each slide. When I export to
a Web page, I include support for Explorer and Navigator in the Save As
preferences, and I allow PNG.

When I export, I can open the file with Netscape and the PNG images display
correctly.

After I upload all of the files created by the presentation to the Web
server via FTP, it doesn't work anymore. Netscape loads the presentation,
but the PNG images are not loaded. There's a broken image icon that says
"LEAD Technologies Inc. V1.01" for every single image in the presentation.

Why does Netscape load the image properly when the Web presentation is on my
desktop but not when it's on a Web server? What is the work around?


-Joe

Correct me if I am wrong, but if I remember correctly, the original question
was how to get Entourage to automatically move to the next message after
deleting the current message. I am using an IMAP connection, and my version
of Entourage will move to the next message automatically after making these
settings;

In the mail and news preferences, set the default behavior to "After
deleting of filing an open message" to open the next message.

Then in the mail window, click on the header called Received so that the
arrow is pointing up.

From this point on, the messages will be listed in the order in which they
were received and when the current message is deleted, Entourage will
automatically open the next message.

Maybe someone else can test this with a POP connection.

Good Grief! I just downloaded and tried out the current version of
Outlook Express and trashed it a half-hour later.

I must admit to having used either Eudora Lite or Eudora Pro
(v3.1.3) ever since I got my first Mac six years ago. I haven't used
Eudora Lite which, like E.O., is freeware for sometime; maybe O.E. has so
many features that it's worth putting up with all its idiosyncrasies?

If you have never tried Eudora Lite, maybe you ought to give it a spin

Cheers,
Seeker

I don't know how to burst digests in Eudora, just in Entourage; sorry.

Another option is to export the digest message and read it with Digest
Viewer <>.
