Of course it was meant to help. > But making fun of me (and others) helping OOo novice users will not > help you. DISCLAIMER: Believe it or not, expecialy while reading the last part of this message, I am *not* making fun of you. I am trying really hard to help, politely suggesting what couldf be done. I am not making fun of *you* personally or any other volunteers. I never did. I do appreciate, sincerely, all your good will and devotion, and have never doubted of it. What I do have great difficulties to take seriously is only the method which you all insist using. I'm trying to help you and OO.o to change that. > I'm still waiting for you to ignore [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a few weeks to > put a procmail solution together since you seem to know it so well. See? (Answering also to others) *this* attitude is exactly why I have never bothered, in the past, to work out and test the details. The attitude going from lack of interest from else who could actually run it, saving his own time, to the several variations of "*I* don't understand one bit of what you suggested, so *you* must be a puffed up moron". Now let's be serious and practical, please. I have already explained that since you are the one that should run it on your own Linux setup, it would sensibly speed things up if *you* could spare a couple of weeks from patroling the lists, and test/tweak the procmail recipes. Yesterday I *did* subscribe to the procmail mailing list, to ask for help from the gurus in that field. So, CPH, I friendly but seriously suggest again: 1) You subscribe today to the procmail mailing list: http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/procmail, suspending OO.o service for a couple of weeks. The world won't come to an end. 2) I send the initial request to that list for help, explaining the detail of the problem. 3) You test on your box what they suggest 4) I promise to help you directly for any "side" issue (initial installation and configuration of procmail, sending test messages, this kind of things) I will do 2) by myself in any case, just for the fun of it, but doing it together as above would be much more effective. >Looking forward to you contributions, Looking forward to any real sign of willingness from the OO.o volunteers/list moderators to change the status quo. So? What do you say? I am ready, are you?
