arachne-digest Wednesday, January 19 2000 Volume 01 : Number 957 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 18:26:33 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Peter Stephen Baxter) Subject: Displaying Long URLs in HOTLIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] Displaying Long URLs in HOTLIST Is there a simple HTM edit that would slightly extend the display of long URLs in the HOTLIST? For example, in the one long line (wordwrapped for display in this message): <LI><A HREF="http://mountainretreat.org/postit/postit.cgi?action=mpp9050777&520 =1163">http://mountainretreat.org/postit/postit.cgi?action =mpp9050777&520=1163</A> ...........&520=1163 is truncated in the HOTLIST display. Even though clicking the line connects properly, this is annoying because the thread's serial # &520=1163 is the only way to discriminate it from all others which might have been pagemarked from the same page, and the entry is even too long for the function display at the bottom of the screen. Yes. I can work around it by manually entering a unique identifyer at the end of the dialogue box that appears on pressing Mouse RH Button for the URL prior to adding to HOTLIST, but I am hoping there is a simple fix that this HTML-uneducated Arachnid could employ. - -- __ __ __ /__) ( ' /__) Stephen / (__) /__) Baxter af236 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 17:22:10 -0500 From: "L.D. Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: M$OE 5 is Arachne-compatible :-) <g> Since e-mail is nothing more than a text file, it should be simple to move individual files between one editor or another, within or outside, various browsers. However, if you were using a program like netTamer you would have to work within a flat file; to move mail from there you would have to save the individual message you wanted to move, and rename it once it stood alone. l.d. ==== On Mon, 17 Jan 2000 22:49:49 +0100, Lars Wigrell wrote: > Hello guys, > Sorry for using M$OE ;-) but I've just discovered that it is compatible with > Arachne.

Hello all, I don't have a drive A on this box, and installed Arachne 1.60 using Interlnk-Intersvr, transferring the program from another computer with a null modem cable. I was connected when I wrote an email message, then my connection timed out before I could upload it. Soon, Arachne was asking me for my mail disk in drive A. The Abort,Retry,Fail didn't work, I got stuck in a loop, Arachne would show for a second, then the Abort,Retry,Fail line. Had to Control-Alt- delete to get out. My message was saved in the outbox by Arachne, however, so I reconnected and sent it. I have an old 2.88 MB drive that is useless, but otherwise this old machine works ok with Arachne 1.60.

To all who answer to that crazy idea, New Idea (c) from me ;) If we have problems with configs and monitors, maybe we have to do it in other way. After installing and setting up Arachne, must exist file makedisk.bat, which will zip all needed files with user's preferences and put it to bootable floppy. Then you can always have your own version of browser in pocket. How it sounds ?

I subscribed to one list without knowing I would receive a deluge of over 500 mails per day -- I now get them "digested" as 4 x 250kB files per day. Like you, I found that the sticking mail caused all prior mails to be downloaded on subsequent sessions. Tech-news website http://theregister.co.uk told recently of some huge press-release clogging their mail, that couldn't be shifted by any M$ offerings. They used The Bat, which is shareware. I recommend FoxMail because it is compact and Freeware, with a version for Win3.1x If you choose the FoxMail route I can talk you through the procedure.

Look in your Arachne directory for a 100 byte file with no extension and a strange (to me) name.

Thanks to Clarence Verge for saying the same info is available (and for as long as the page is on screen) in the Alt+M info window (after HTML atoms). The messages at the foot of the screen are often truncated for 640x480 users, showing static info. Can the user edit these messages? The buttons, while OK for my (current) levels of visual acuity and motor skills are too small in the slinky desktop style, or too small globally e.g. the history list button. Is there a screenshot of the Toolbar? Couldn't the 640x480 user be given the choice of whether or not he has enough screen space for it? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Mention was made of InSight Mail requesting a floppy etc. This all seems to be down to the location of temporary and other directories set up in Local Settings.

L.D., I have used Steve Lawson's Goin' Postal email program and it uses the single file format for mailboxes. It will extract a message to a separate file and I wrote a batch file to rename these extracted messages from their default name to a file with the .cnm extension that Arachne/Pegasus use. The messages work fine with them also. I have Juno email and you can save email messages as a text file and these messages (with the .cnm extension) are compatible also with Arachne/Pegasus.
