The reason your G-list e-mails are bouncing in OS X is that G-list only accepts "plain text" format e-mail submissions. If you are using AOL for OS X browser, I believe there is no way to change the default format to plain text, and that you'll need to use AOL 5.0 for OS 9 in Classic mode to make submissions.
Yes and thanks very much since I heard this I've learned to understand some of AOL X woes, the info has been very helpful.
An alternate possibility from totally within OS X is to use a browser to navigate to www.aol.com and sign-in and send your mail from within the web-based AOL client which I believe is plain text. The OS X application Mail has a preference that allows you to select "plain text" or "rich text" if you have a non-AOL ISP.
Coincidentally I had installed Netscape yesterday and I didn't realize it can handle AOL email, which I hope fixes my problem.
I'm not certain about your volumes problem. In Finder Preferences under the Finder menu the first selection is a box to toggle "Show these Items on Desktop" and Hard Disks is one. Each partition of a HD should show up as a separate HD on the desktop.
I know what you mean but that's not it, everything is selected, another lister suggested that already as well but I had already done it.
I am going to give you an example of what I mean. In iTunes 'Add To Library' an Mp3 from a directory in a separate drive from the one you started up from. Now in my window I have a pulldown menu at the top and the browse menus under that. If I choose desktop on the pulldown menu it goes to my user's desktop. The browse window to the right should show my drives or any mounted media but NOTHING shows up. They only show up if I place aliases for my drives on the desktop, duhh!. Then I can't seem to be able to move any further back than my user folder, if I choose 'Home' SOMETIMES the drives show up, but sometimes it goes back to my user folder. Am I the one who is wrong here?
Oh forgot to mention this never happens if I try to access them in Classic they show up like always. OH I tried selecting the drives get info and making ME as the owner of the drives but no difference.
You can drag any of these HD icons to the dock if you want to.
Still how will I be able to save into then or open something from them within an appl? adding then to the dock will only make then more accessible to me.
If you are in OS 9 or Classic and some of your OS X volumes were initialized without the box "Install OS 9 drivers" checked in Disk Utility, then these OS X volumes will be invisible in OS 9, but this seems unlikely to be your problem.
I started with OS 9 with all the drives (formated with FWB HDT), then installed OS X from the CD (of course), which I believe upgraded the drivers, they do show up in 9, no problem.
If you have bad System problems, reinstalling the latest Combo Update will often correct things. Good luck, Kris
I just did an installation 2 hours ago, but it seems that this is normal, or I probably missed some sort of setting in the Sys Prefs. But as long as the aliases are working for me I guess I'll keep on playing around with the system until I find a solution.
Thanks so much Kris Lil
