Tom, It is something you can turn on later but you have to develop with a mindset for your eventual usage scenario. Develop locally without cert Frequently deploy to dev server that has cert Test in dev to make sure you don't introduce mixed secure/insecure content If the content can't be

Bec, The mail client might let you drag an email into sent items. Email is not guaranteed to be delivered. That's not part of the spec (though you might be able to interpret it that way). So they could have sent it and you still might receive it next week, or never... Isn't that just peachy?

I always marvel at how people use email for business. As if it were guaranteed delivery. The technology has been around longer than the internet and I'd not be surprised if its not been changed in all that time. I'd like to hope it has but not looked into it. Might put that on my weekend reading

Haha thanks guys but this case is quite suspicious. It was sent over two weeks ago and it just happens the most important email is the only one which didn't arrive. All others arrived. I'm not buying it. :-) Is it possible to achieve this by tampering with the mail server settings or some other

Hi Greg, Please find following what I have used in the past. It is very expensive, but I can not see a better way of doing it. It returns an integer which is the sum of: - number of times the same letter appears in both strings - 10 times the number of times the same two letters appears in

Bec - have you looked at the (prior) email headers from this person? That will tell you what email client is normally used, and some other intermediate server information. I have just tested this, and It’s possible for (for example) using Outlook desktop versions to copy or move items to and

Hi Bec, Email uses a store and forward approach, the computer wanting to send the email stores the email until it can see another computer that it forwards it to that is closer to the recipient, when it will forward the email to the next computer, which will start the process over again. This

Hi Greg, I should look at my code before I write comments from memory... The result is a *double *value being the sum of: · number of times the same letter appears in both strings · 10 times the number of times the same two letters appears in both strings · 100 times

Thanks Greg H, the weighting is a very interesting idea. I'm running some simple experiments now with a word list and an inverted list of file names, just to help me picture the problem in my head. The problem with a weighting comparison is that I don't know what to compare with what, comparing

Am curious, is the idea of the exercise to write your own code to solve the problem, or to solve the problem? I've used Treesize pro to find file duplicates in the past. Also have used Directory Opus to find duplicates. Great for finding identical files with different names. Probably won't help if

Hi Stephen, I wrote a utility in Framework 1.0 that finds duplicate files by content (builds a dictionary of checksums). In this case the files with similar names might be the same recording at different bitrates, making them binary different. So it's a bit fuzzy what I'm looking for. Off the cuff

Yes, I use Treesize (Professional) when I need to discover files on disks. I’ve had to do it remotely using TeamViewer – hence the Pro version – but a free version and also a trial of the Pro version are available as I recall. It’s worth a try. But I’m interested in the algorithm and the code,

Beyond compare has a dedicated viewer for MP3 files but it looks like it compares the tags not the actual audio. I think for comparing files and folders it's awesome but not sure if it can be used to find the duplicates in a single folder. Also it would need the MP3 tags to be correct (which there
