Subject: <No subject given>
Hi,
I need to create one document that merges more than 3000 emails: when I choose the
"conbine" option in my email client (Outlook
Express 5) the only result is a crash of the program. So my question is : How can
solve this problem ?
Does anyone know about some program that looks inside Outlook folders and solve my
problem ?.
Please help me.

Hello Fellow Accmailers,
Out of the blue, what I mean is at irregular intervals, I get this
message scrolling on :
"DOE UNPAD 94. V.2.21, (c) Maret 1996, Bandung, Indonesia"
This lasts for a minute, during this period the message moves back and
forth and my computer comes to a stanstill.
Please tell me what this is and how I can remove it once and for all.
Thanks to everyone who would be coming up with a solution.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way to only get certain parts of a file by

there anyway to do this?

Like everything else MS does, they don't follow approved standards.
Almost every E-mail program follows the Unix mailbox standard for
E-mail message storage. So you will first have to extract the messages
from Outlook and convert to the Unix mailbox format. From this step you
should be able to combine and then import into another E-mail program
like Eudora, Netscape, or Pine.

=========================
Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the
content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest
(and is necessary if you receive a lot of messages per day), and it
helps to follow a thread on a particular topic.
Non-meaningful subjects are:
1. empty or blank subjects
2. Subject: I need help
3. Subject: A question
4. Subject: Re: ACCMAIL Digest ....
=================
O F F - T O P I C
=================
Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing
list doesn't deal with topics like:
- Do you want to make $$$.
- I want to chat with someone.
- Hi, I'm new to the list and I want to make friends.
- General use of your computer -- instead ask a specific question like
is there a FAQ available on modems?
- Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it
via email.
- Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find
information concerning ??? via email.
- Windows 95 problems -- instead ask where do I find information
regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page. etc.)
===================
N E T I Q U E T T E
===================
DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply.
DO cut mercilessly. Leave just enough to indicate what you're
responding to. NEVER include mail headers except maybe the "From:"
line. If you can't figure out how to delete lines in your mailer
software, paraphrase or type the quoted material in.
DON'T SEND A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. CAPITALIZED MESSAGES ARE HARDER TO
READ THAN LOWER CASE OR MIXED CASE.
DO use normal capitalization. Separate your paragraphs with blank
lines. Make your message inviting to your potential readers.
DON'T send messages with HTML coding or MIME extensions.
DO learn how to change your E-mail program so that it sends only plain
text ASCII to the list.
Make things easy for the recipient. Many mailers strip header
information which includes your return address. In order to ensure that
people know who you are, be sure to include a line or two at the end of
your message with contact information. You can create this file ahead
of time and add it to the end of your messages. (Some mailers do this
automatically.) In Internet parlance, this is known as a ".sig" or
"signature" file. Your .sig file takes the place of your business card.
(And you can have more than one to apply in different circumstances.)
If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer
than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the
minute, and the longer your message is, the more they pay.
Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the
globe. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response,
the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give
them a chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the
mail didn't arrive or that they don't care.
In general, most people who use the Internet don't have time to answer
general questions about the Internet and its workings. Don't send unsoli
cited mail asking for information to people whose names you might have
seen on mailing lists (especially *MINE*)

ACCMAIL uses LISTSERV "topics", which allows people to subscribe to a

announcements about new servers, new tecniques, etc. please prefix the
subject line with NEWS:
If you considered all these files and my comments, your post will likely
be very welcome on ACCMAIL and everybody will try to help you with your

If not, you're likely to get a short answer referencing one of the files

Unfortunately, it's true. I had corresponded with the owner of this
service last year and he asked me what he could do with the site. I
suggested that he try to set it up like the www4mail servers. I guess
he just decided not to do anything and just close it.

Accmailers,
As far as I can determine, the last Veronica server quit functioning at
the beginning of 1999. My last full test of Veronica by email occurred
in Oct 1998.
I just spent the past weekend going through all known Veronica servers.
The only functioning one is located in Japan. However, it is used only
as a local file finder on the dna.affrc,go.jp gopher server.
