The same addresses - the second message was just a reply. Evo's smart about not making the primary recipient of a message the original sender, if the original sender is you. I do have a procmail filter set to eliminate identical messages based on md5 hashes, but that shouldn't be related. > > > But how do I send my .pdb's directly to the card via USB, instead > > > of having to send them to the built in memory and then copy them > > > to the card? > > pilot-xfer from 0.12.x (currently -pre4) has a -D option to > send files to the card (yes, I couldn't think of a good option arg to > use and -D was free, so there you go ;) > > pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -i Foo.pdb -D /Palm/Ebooks > > Or if you're using libusb: > > pilot-xfer -p usb: -i Foo.pdb -D /Palm/Ebooks > > That'll do it. The second one didn't work for me at all - I'm assuming that's because my pilot-xfer isn't linked against libusb, but I haven't checked (since I'm officially "not working over the next week and a half", but I just couldn't stay away from figuring out how to use my new SD memory since I was hitting my head on the memory ceiling). The first one worked for me, except I had to use /Palm/Launcher instead of /Palm/Ebooks - I found the directory to use with FileZ on the PalmOS side. When I had a pdb in Ebooks (which probably wasn't a directory - and -might- have copied every pdb I wanted into that same filename, hence only keeping the last) I would always get an "uncaught exception" (sorry, I didn't jot down the exception number and the problem is gone now - but I believe it was in the 10,000's) when attempting to start up plucker. > > 2) Until now I've been using pilot-xfer and jpilot to copy plucker > > documents to my T|C's built in memory > > This will only work if your documents are smaller than the > remaining free RAM on the device itself.

Nope, but I don't seem to need to in the immediate future. But I'll keep this option in mind for someday. Thanks!
