Hello, sometimes it's hard to make a point amidst the multitude of web fetchers, each one with its own pecularities. I wanted to know if the 2 www4mail servers are the only ones supporting "specific part" retrievals of web documents. As I have a small emailbox, I need to retrieve big documents by issuing more part-retrieval orders. Since it's no challenge to run out of your weekly quota, I'd be interested in using a service like this when it turns unavailable. Thanks for your time, Elek ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 15:39:13 +0100 From: ONIME EHIMIKA OHIREIME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Trieste dead?? What we have appears to be a DNS problem, nothing to do with the www4mail server. What we should realise is that SMTP (e-mail) depends a lot on DNS to function properly. Now when DNS fails you get messages like: wm.ictp.trieste.it : NO such host or domain.. Apparently, there is a DNS prblem for the ictp.trieste.it domain. I tested from a different Network in Italy and it was okay.. I can request the organisation (network people) to check the DNS servers on Monday 18th Janunary. FEATURES -------- Well as for features www4mail has been on a feature freeze since Dec. 10th 1998 when version 2.0 was released. No new feature has been added. Currently work on developing www4mail is also on hold pending when we can get together a developers group. NO new features per-week... The available features are listed in the on-line help documentation. AGORA & GETWEB -------------- Agora & getweb were great but the developments on the Web overtook them. SEARCHING & FILLING FORMS ------------------------- www4mail allows WEB interaction and browsing of the web by-email. This means that you can search most of the available search engines or even submit web form data using www4mail. Most of the special features in www4mail are not available when you are using the text commands (e.g GET or SEND). The WEB is meant to be more than text. OTHER SERVERS ------------- Happily other www4mail servers are springing up and we try to list the public ones as soon as we can test them. Anyone who is interested in hosting a www4mail server is invited to contact me.

Hello fellow ACCMAILers, I have been an "Email only" user for quite a few years, but recently I have had the luck of obtaining a free "Web-only" address. So now I have an email-only account on the one hand, and a web-only (ie. no email, FTP or usenet) on the other. The web-address can be quite useful from time to time (big downloads from HTTP: servers, and of course the usual browsing), but what I really miss is my daily dose of my popular newsgroups. For years, I used Reference.com, and even though a lot of people told me it was "unreliable" or "down a lot", I thought it worked like a charm, and it delivered all the new postings to my fav. groups every day, in a (for me at least) perfect "mailing list-like" format. As we all know, the email part of Reference.com is still down from last october, so I was lucky to have Web access, so I could use Dejanews.com to keep an eye on the newsgroups, even though it's still no Reference.com. So last week I decided to look at the ACCMAIL docs if there still was no better way of getting usenet by email, but sadly, there wasn't (the gopher stuff etc. is just not very convenient for me, I would like to read all postings to a group, or at least most of them). When I use my Web-account and Dejanews to read the newgroups, I type this for a search string: ~g comp.sys.whatever (That is: tilde, g, and the name of the group) This could also be done by email. When you look at the address your browser makes of this, you can send that URL to a WWW4mail type server, and from the file you get back, you van take the "Message ID" part and send that to a WWW4mail server too. I've tried it, and it works. I didn't read about this type of Usenet-by-email in http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1236/howto2.html, so either it is even more clumsy than the gopher way of doing it, or.... So *why* isn't the "Deja-way" in the "howto" doc? It has some advantages: It supports almost all groups, it saves the messages for a long time, etc. Finally, isn't there something we can do to get Reference.com back in business? Who has heard anything from them recently, and if you have, would it help if we would all ask them at that address (very politely, of course), if and when the email service will be back? Or if *one* of us asks on behalf of everybody? I just think it's very sad that we're losing all the great accmail services: W3Mail, Whatshername (the Canadian usenet thingie from two years ago), and now Reference.com? Please discuss :-) Richard Douwes [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 16:52:21 +0200 From: Johann Snyman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: IE4 Easter Egg Try dragging the icon back onto the globe when it shakes.

Come on! gimme a break. How about the Experienced users guide by E-mail rather than 33-mouse clicks to read it online. And forget the PDF version, E-mail is a text only medium. >AGORA & GETWEB >-------------- >Agora & getweb were great but the developments on the Web overtook them. Yep, we all need scrolling ad banners when viewing a web page. How about poor color combinations, slooooooooow loading, javascript junk, worthless backgrounds, ad nauseum. Why is it we are always looking for text only pages? >The WEB is meant to be more than text. But E-mail isn't... Gads. I spend hours online looking for answers to questions. I need text, not graphics. A nicely formatted text only web page is just dandy for me. When somebody on this list asks for a decoder program, I'll look at C|Net's shareware site to do a search. But let me put this in perspective. I want the search box but the page contains Javascript to load an ad banner across the top and bottom -- neither of which I need. In addition, there is a list of other search junk located down the left side and more junk at the bottom. The only thing I need is maybe a link back to the Home page. All the other is clutter and does nothing to help me search. Let's say I search on MIME. Well I get the results plus the same annoying clutter on the page. What good does any of it do me when all I'm doing is trying to find a MIME encoder/decoder program? You may think this is great, but I think it's a waste of time and resources because all this graphics loading slows down my search time. None of which helps me utimately to answer the question or download a program. My AltaVista searching now only uses the text only pages because they are fast. Do me a favor, and try this experiment. Load and search on any term and time the results for both these AltaVista web sites: Text only http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&text=yes GUI http://www.altavista.com/ I'll bet you than I can load and type in a search term in the text page before the graphics page finishes loading. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 14:00:42 -0800 From: "Gerald E.

Dear Nagesh: It's really commendable that you wish to increase your knowledge by creating programs that facilitate the reading of MPEG files. However, one of the main purposes of this list is to increase your own mastery of e-mail technique so that you can obtain such files for yourself. In case of the MPEG files you desire, there is basically a two-step procedure to obtain them: 1) Obtain a listing of their URLs at the aforementioned site, and 2)send an e-mail message that gets them delivered to your e-mail box. As far as step #1 is concerned, obtaining a listing can be done with an Agora server. The proper e-mail syntax for doing so would be: TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECT: [Unnecessary to put anything here] BODY: send http://jura2.eee.rgu.ac.uk/dsk/digvid/mpeg1.html You will then receive back from the Agora server a listing which contains the text of the Web page with that URL - along with an ordered list containing the URLs of the individual MPEG files at the site. With this list choose out the files of interest to you and obtain it by using an gophermail server.
