Re: [JAWS-Users] daily information excel

[Cathie Jacobse]

I had no idea that I could get rid of .
what I did:
alt for ribbon
file seems to come up first, tab then shift tab to go out of file then back on 
file,
use up arrow key to find convert, press enter
sorry can't remember if there was an OK, but no rename was required.
I followed instructions to close sheet then reopen etc.
I found that all my excel worksheets have been converted& these workbooks are 
located in different folders like home expense, investments & the sudoku folder 
where I tried this.
No if  anyone could provide instructions for getting rid of the announced
non commercial use
I would be a happy camper today!
Perhaps someone else more familiar with ribbons can provide better instructions 
on the file selections.

Like I said in this case I am only passing along what I get in the mail. I 
am certain that the folks who have office 2007 on here will join in and 
explain the steps involved. It is possible that folks aren't aware of these 
tricks and need to take some time to investigate how they might be done with 
the keyboard.

Rest assured if it is a tip that I feel capable of elaborating on I will of 
course do so.

BTW I don't sign your pay check so you do not need to call me sir although I

Daily Tip:
Convert Old Spreadsheets

If you have several dated still important documents in older versions of
Microsoft Excel, you can convert them to Microsoft Excel 2007, and take
advantage of the new features. To do this, open one of the old documents,
and then go the Compatibility Mode in the title bar. Click the Microsoft
Office button on the left, and then select Convert. When you are prompted,
save the converted document to a new filename, and close both documents when
you are finished. Open the converted document. You will know you are
successful if there is no longer a Compatibility Mode option in the title
bar.

Honestly I don't have personal knowledge of that as I am only passing along
the information from Smart Computing. If I were to guess probably yes. Here
again I do not own office 2007 so I can't say for sure. 

So here would be an opportunity for somebody out there who does own office
2007 to chime in on this thread. It does sound pretty cool to me.

Daily Tip:
Convert Old Spreadsheets

If you have several dated still important documents in older versions of
Microsoft Excel, you can convert them to Microsoft Excel 2007, and take
advantage of the new features. To do this, open one of the old documents,
and then go the Compatibility Mode in the title bar. Click the Microsoft
Office button on the left, and then select Convert. When you are prompted,
save the converted document to a new filename, and close both documents 
when

you are finished. Open the converted document. You will know you are

Daily Tip:
Skip A Bullet Or Number

There can be times when you're working with a bulleted or numbered list 
when you want to add a new line without tacking on a number or bullet. 
Perhaps you want to add a parenthetical note below an entry without making 
it part of your list. If you hold SHIFT and press ENTER, Word will add a 
new line to your list without a bullet a number. When you want to resume 
numbering or bulleting, don't hold the SHIFT key any longer.

Daily Tip:
Fix A Dropped Internet Connection

If your Internet connection drops, the router or broadband modem may be to
blame. Start troubleshooting by unplugging the power cords from both
devices. Let them sit for a minute and then plug in the broadband modem.
Once its status light indicates that it has Internet access, plug in the
router. Within a minute or two, you should be back in business. Other
actions that sometimes do the trick: powering down (but not unplugging) your
PC when you unplug the modem and router, and pushing the Reset buttons (if
present) on the back of your modem and router for several seconds.

The definitions for "cloud" and "cloud computing" are still evolving and

services, and more. Businesses often think of cloud computing in terms of
scalability: Internet-based services that can scale to meet the changing
usage needs of a growing business. SaaS (Software as a Service), for
example, is software that his hosted online (instead of being installed to
your computers). It can be scaled for use by your growing company.

Daily Tip:
Save Your Batteries

When your wireless keyboard starts skipping characters as you type, it’s
tempting to blame old batteries. The more likely cause, however, is
interference with the connection between your keyboard and its transceiver.
Before you replace those batteries, double-check that the transceiver hasn’t
slipped off your desk (and that you haven’t put anything heavy between it
and the keyboard). You may also want to check your keyboard manufacturer’s
software to see whether it has a battery status indicator.

Daily Tip:
Flip The Wi-Fi Switch

Many laptops have a physical switch or button that you can flip/press to
enable or disable the laptop's wireless adapter. This is handy if you're
about to board a plane and want to quickly turn off the laptop's Wi-Fi
settings or if you don't need Wi-Fi at the moment and want to conserve
battery power. However, it's easy to forget that you turned the adapter off.
If you're having trouble getting a Wi-Fi connection check that switch on
your laptop.

  Daily Term:
fan grille

Wherever you find a fan on your computer case, you are also likely to find a
fan grille (sometimes referred to as a fan grill). Not to be mistaken for a
fan filter (which blocks dust from being sucked into your system), a fan
grille prevents curious children and pets from touching the rotating fan
blade. Business PCs typically have nondescript grilles, while gaming PCs
often have grilles in eye-catching shapes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily information internet connection problems

[tim]

FYI, I wouldn't reset the router until computer is checked first.
Depending on your type of connection you can find both of these 
solutions in device manager.
For wired you need network adaptors. your net card should be listed. 
Just arrow down to it and hit application key and then chose disable. 
After that is done do the same and chose enable.

For wireless same place and same method.
Now that they have ben turned off and turned on You should be seeing 
at least a connection to the router or out to the Internet. If still 
not then check and make sure this is running.

How to get to it on xp, vista or win8.
start menu, run. Type "services.msc".
Now with xp you are looking for wireless zero with vista or win7 its 
wlan. Now hit application key and chose start or restart. That one 
will also stop you from seeing connection or even having one.
The main reason I say reset router last is, because if any changes 
are made there you will lose them. A reset sets your router back to 
factory defaults. Witch depending on router may reset all wireless settings.
I have found that most wireless connection failures are from the 
external wireless shut off or internal settings. All laptops, 
netbooks  have these buttons and in the most strangest places. You 
can identify them by blue color with a A with wavy lines on it. Most 
of the time turning that off or back on will bring your connection back.

Daily Tip:
Fix A Dropped Internet Connection

If your Internet connection drops, the router or broadband modem may 
be to blame. Start troubleshooting by unplugging the power cords 
from both devices. Let them sit for a minute and then plug in the 
broadband modem. Once its status light indicates that it has 
Internet access, plug in the router. Within a minute or two, you 
should be back in business. Other actions that sometimes do the 
trick: powering down (but not unplugging) your PC when you unplug 
the modem and router, and pushing the Reset buttons (if present) on 
the back of your modem and router for several seconds.


  Daily Term:
cloud

The definitions for "cloud" and "cloud computing" are still evolving 
and subject to debate, but you'll find that many people are 
referring to online services when they say something is "in the 
cloud." Such services include online photo-editing services, 
Web-based email services, online storage services, and more. 
Businesses often think of cloud computing in terms of scalability: 
Internet-based services that can scale to meet the changing usage 
needs of a growing business. SaaS (Software as a Service), for 
example, is software that his hosted online (instead of being 
installed to your computers). It can be scaled for use by your growing company.

Yet another example of the real world catching up with science

Hi Jim, After I do the ALT N, I then press the APPLICATIONS key, Then down 
arrow 3 times to "Save As" and press Enter.

I then can Tab 3 times over to Save and then press Spacebar.
It is then necessary to do one more ALT N, to get back to where you were

hi:
here's the way I do it.
after pressing alt+n I tab once to the save split button.
then I down arrow the save as radio button and enter.
then a dialog comes up which looks just like ie8 and thenyou can tab around 
and save it where you want it.

hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily information

[inthane]

yes this can work, I recommend that you copy the cell out to somewhere, I 
usually use a notepad screen and just plop it there JIC!


the reason is is that if you select certain formats or excel decides that 
"that number is a..." it will shift the contained number to one fitting that 
format, which can be a problem since not all numbers translate back quite 
right,


so, you can while changing the format make a date become a oddly formatted 
number, and then when you tell it to change it back, your computer turns on 
its web cam, looks at you, and says "huh, you want me to do what? nuh uh, 
not happening!"


a little safety can go a long ways to keep frustration down!

Daily Tip:
Excel: Change Decimal Places (Worksheet)

To change the decimal places in cells, select them and then click the Home
tab, if it isn't already selected. Click the Increase Decimal or Decrease
Decimal icons.

  Daily Term:
cache

The cache memory areas on and near your microprocessor are a vital component
for giving the microprocessor improved speed and performance. The cache
(pronounced "cash") provides high-speed, temporary data storage areas the
microprocessor can access quickly. You can think of the cache area as a
high-speed memory subsystem for your computer.

Cache memory areas are able to improve the performance speed of a
microprocessor through four means. First, the cache memory consists of
memory technology that works more quickly than the traditional RAM in your
computer; it's also far more expensive. (Cache memory typically consists of
SRAM [static RAM] versus the DRAM [dynamic RAM] usually used as the
computer's main RAM.) Second, the cache memory areas are much closer to the
microprocessor than traditional RAM, meaning they can deliver the data more
quickly. Third, most cache areas run at nearly the same clock speed as the
microprocessor, letting them work more closely in tandem. RAM runs at a much
slower clock speed than the microprocessor. Finally, because the
microprocessor typically only uses a small portion of a program or a data
file at a time, storing the commonly used portion in cache is useful, even
if the original program or data file is far too large to fit entirely in
cache.

Today's microprocessors make use of two cache areas: L1 (level 1) and L2
(level 2). L1 cache is also known as on-die cache, on-chip cache, and
primary cache. L1 cache usually sits directly on the microprocessor and is a
smaller memory area than L2 cache. L1 cache is the first area the
microprocessor checks when looking for data stored in memory. The L2 cache
usually resides on the motherboard, although some manufacturers include L2
cache as part of the microprocessor's packaging or on the microprocessor
itself, and is the second area the microprocessor checks for data stored in
memory. To improve the performance of the L2 cache, microprocessor
manufacturers a few years ago began connecting the microprocessor and the L2
cache with a backside bus. The microprocessor checks both cache areas before
checking RAM. When the microprocessor finds the data it wants in the cache
areas, it's called a cache hit. If the cache doesn't have the needed data,
it's called a cache miss. As the microprocessor's data needs change, it
updates the data it stores in the L1 and L2 caches, overwriting the oldest
data in the caches.

In newer microprocessors, such as the Pentium 4 from Intel, the
microprocessor uses prediction technology to determine the best sets of data
to place in the L1 and L2 caches. This prediction technology is important to
overall performance because it increases cache hits and minimizes the amount
of time the microprocessor must wait for memory searches.

Cache memory first appeared in a computer-the IBM System/360 Model 85-in
1968. Nearly every PC built since then has included some type of cache
memory. The Intel 468DX microprocessor, which Intel introduced in 1989,
featured L1 cache on the chip for the first time, but it only had 8KB of
cache memory. Off-chip L2 cache areas appeared soon after with 486DX4 and
Pentium microprocessor chips from Intel in the early 1990s. Intel's Pentium
II microprocessor, introduced in 1997, was part of an SEC (Single Edge
Contact) Cartridge that included a high-speed cache memory chip. Today's
microprocessors usually have 128KB or more of L1 cache memory and 256KB or
more of L2 cache memory.

Because of the expense of cache memory, some low-price computers from a few
years ago might be missing the L2 cache on the motherboard or
microprocessor. Intel's initial Celeron processor, for example, didn't
include L2 cache. However, as microprocessor components have continued to
shrink and memory components have continued to be

computer's main RAM.) Second, the cache memory areas are much closer to the 
microprocessor than traditional RAM, meaning they can deliver the data more 
quickly. Third, most cache areas run at nearly the same clock speed as the 
microprocessor, letting them work more closely in tandem. RAM runs at a much 
slower clock speed than the microprocessor. Finally, because the 
microprocessor typically only uses a small portion of a program or a data 
file at a time, storing the commonly used portion in cache is useful, even 
if the original program or data file is far too large to fit entirely in 
cache.


Today's microprocessors make use of two cache areas: L1 (level 1) and L2 
(level 2). L1 cache is also known as on-die cache, on-chip cache, and 
primary cache. L1 cache usually sits directly on the microprocessor and is a 
smaller memory area than L2 cache. L1 cache is the first area the 
microprocessor checks when looking for data stored in memory. The L2 cache 
usually resides on the motherboard, although some manufacturers include L2 
cache as part of the microprocessor's packaging or on the microprocessor 
itself, and is the second area the microprocessor checks for data stored in 
memory. To improve the performance of the L2 cache, microprocessor 
manufacturers a few years ago began connecting the microprocessor and the L2 
cache with a backside bus. The microprocessor checks both cache areas before 
checking RAM. When the microprocessor finds the data it wants in the cache 
areas, it's called a cache hit. If the cache doesn't have the needed data, 
it's called a cache miss. As the microprocessor's data needs change, it 
updates the data it stores in the L1 and L2 caches, overwriting the oldest 
data in the caches.


In newer microprocessors, such as the Pentium 4 from Intel, the 
microprocessor uses prediction technology to determine the best sets of data 
to place in the L1 and L2 caches. This prediction technology is important to 
overall performance because it increases cache hits and minimizes the amount 
of time the microprocessor must wait for memory searches.


Cache memory first appeared in a computer-the IBM System/360 Model 85-in 
1968. Nearly every PC built since then has included some type of cache 
memory. The Intel 468DX microprocessor, which Intel introduced in 1989, 
featured L1 cache on the chip for the first time, but it only had 8KB of 
cache memory. Off-chip L2 cache areas appeared soon after with 486DX4 and 
Pentium microprocessor chips from Intel in the early 1990s. Intel's Pentium 
II microprocessor, introduced in 1997, was part of an SEC (Single Edge 
Contact) Cartridge that included a high-speed cache memory chip. Today's 
microprocessors usually have 128KB or more of L1 cache memory and 256KB or 
more of L2 cache memory.


Because of the expense of cache memory, some low-price computers from a few 
years ago might be missing the L2 cache on the motherboard or 
microprocessor. Intel's initial Celeron processor, for example, didn't 
include L2 cache. However, as microprocessor components have continued to 
shrink and memory components have continued to be less expensive, almost all 
recent and current microprocessors contain L2 cache. With microprocessor 
components continuing to shrink, nearly all future microprocessors probably 
will contain an on-chip L2 cache. Newer Athlon microprocessors from AMD 
(Advanced Micro Devices), for example, include the L2 cache on the chip,

Daily Tip:
Word: Document Compatibility

Need to create a document that your colleagues can open with an older 
version of Microsoft Word than Word 2010? You have two options. One is to 
have them download the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, which is 
available via Microsoft’s website. (This only gives them reading
capabilities.) The other is to work in Compatibility Mode. Open your 
document and then click the File tab. Click Save As and then click Word
97-2003 Document from the Save As drop-down menu. Now send them the new copy 
of the document, which has a DOC extension. Note that this approach means 
they can open the document in older versions of Microsoft Office for editing 
and reading.


 Daily Term:
cable splitter

A device that divides the signals intended for the cable modem and the 
television. If your home is equipped with a cable modem, when data from a 
cable company arrives at your home using a coaxial cable, it passes through 
a splitter.

Daily Tip:
Outlook: Recent Search

This is a handy tip for people who use the same keyword often when searching
with Microsoft Office Outlook 2010's Instant Search feature. Click the
Instant Search field and then find the Options group in the Search Tools tab
(which appears in the Ribbon only when the Instant Search field is active).
Now, click the Recent Searches button and then select the keyword from your
10 most recent keyword searches.

  Daily Term:
above the fold

A term borrowed from print media that indicates the portion of the screen
the user sees first. On Web sites, important information should go in this
space, but it's also expensive advertising real estate. In order to be above
the fold, the information should be visible without having to scroll
vertically or horizontally. Since users can have various screen resolutions
that affect whether something is positioned above the fold or not, it is
important to know the resolution used by most visitors to the site.

Daily Tip:
Troubleshoot Excel Formulas

When you work with formulas in Microsoft Excel, there are sometimes 
some
glitches. Excel is good about letting you know when there is an error 
and

even offering some help. However, with especially long formulas, it's
sometimes necessary to examine small parts of it at a time to figure 
out the
problem. Use your mouse pointer to look at only a certain part of a 
formula
and press F9 to evaluate just that section. Press Esc to go back and 
keep

searching.

 Daily Term:
data field

In a database management system, an area within a data record reserved 
for a

small specific piece of data such as a date.

Hi Señor Ferrin;

At first I thought this article was going to make fun of me & my situation 
with Doctor Phil,
  This time around we concern ourselves with the health of the person 
sitting at the desk, but, after starting to read the tip I realized that you 
were talking about physical health & this wasn't about me at all!  LOL  LOL

  I couldn't resist.  Take care.  LOL

  ***
  Daily Tip:
  Posture

  Sitting in the same position for hours at a time can cause neck and back 
pain, and slouching in your chair can exaggerate the problem. To avoid 
stress on your back, sit with your upper arms parallel to your spine and 
then locate chair as close as possible to your desk. Additionally, your 
entire backside should be pressed against your chair back to evenly 
distribute pressure across your back. To avoid stress on your neck, adjust 
your monitor so that your gaze is aimed at the center of the screen, and 
move the armrest on your chair until the armrests lift your arms at the 
shoulders. Finally, get up, stretch, or simply take a quick walk a few times 
a day to loosen up your muscles.

Daily Term:
  daisywheel

  A printing mechanism shaped like a round disk with a number of spokes, or 
arms, that extend from its center. Each arm has a fully formed character on 
its tip. The arm hits the ribbon, and the impact makes a mark on the paper. 
One daisywheel contains all the characters for one font only; a change in 
fonts requires a different daisywheel. Daisywheels are found on a daisywheel 
printer. Also called print wheel.

Add A Mailbox
 
One of the senior partners is leaving for summer vacation
and he's designated you to respond to his critical,
time-sensitive emails while he's away. To save time, you can
add his mailbox to your account for quick and easy access.
You must have a Microsoft Exchange email account and the
person who wants you to read and respond to email must give
you reviewer permission. Once these things are in place,
open Outlook, click Tools and Email Accounts. Click View Or
Change Existing Email Accounts and Next. In the email list,
click the Exchange account type and Change. Click More

Daily Tip:
Quick Reminders
 
Outlook's Calendar is an indispensable tool for keeping
track of your meetings and appointments, but you can also
set appointments to act as reminders, such as sending a fax
or embarking on the all-important late run.
Open a new Appointment in Outlook and set the appointment to
start and end at the same time. In the Reminder drop-down
menu, set when you want to receive the reminder. This way,
you can schedule reminders without blocking off time in
Outlook.

Daily Tip:
Outlook's Junk Email Options

Being the most efficient multitasker in the office usually comes down to
setting the right priorities. Some people simply don't have time to sift
through an inbox teeming with spam. On the other hand, dreadful consequences
could arise if an important client's email winds up in Outlook's Junk E-mail
folder. Outlook lets you modify your junk email options according to the
level of vigilance you demand.
Outlook's junk email filter is automatically set to Low; to change this
setting, open the Tools menu and select Options. Under the Preferences tab,
click the Junk E-mail button. In the Junk E-mail Options dialog box, you can
choose from the following levels of security: No Automatic Filtering, Low,
High, and Safe Lists Only.

As its name suggests, the No Automatic Filtering option will not block any
spam. Microsoft only recommends disabling the Junk E-mail filter if your
mail server already uses an effective third-party spam blocking utility. The
Low setting will typically only filter the most blatant spam, but the High
setting may occasionally catch emails from legitimate senders. Safe Lists
Only is the most restrictive filter. If you select this option, Outlook lets
through only emails from people in your Contacts folder and those you
specified under the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients lists.

To maintain a high level of spam filtering while allowing important emails
to pass through, set the Junk E-mail filter to High and periodically check
your Junk E-mail folder. When you find an email that isn't spam, right-click
the message and point to Junk E-mail. Click Mark As Not Junk, which opens
the Mark As Not Junk dialog box. When you select The Always Trust Email From
checkbox, Outlook adds the sender's email address to your Safe Senders list.
Click OK to finish.


  Daily Term:
ligature

A combination character used with some fonts when two regular characters
appear next to each other and bump against each other. For example, a
publisher may replace the letters ff with a ligature that connects the short
line in the middle of the characters.

Daily Tip:
Show Calendar In Vista

If you use the Windows Vista calendar, there is a keyboard shortcut that is
convenient and easy to use. To show just the date, press the Windows and the
B keys, and then the left arrow key. To show the full calendar, press the
Windows and the B keys, the left arrow key, and then ENTER.

  Daily Term:
launch

Although you can use the term launch in several different computer-related
contexts, it nearly always refers to starting a process. Starting a piece of
computer software commonly is called launching the software; in this
instance, launch is synonymous with run or execute. For example, most OSes
(operating systems) launch automatically when you turn on your computer.

David,

I like these daily tips, so this folders organization works same as for
folders like for my documents? Anything pertaining to the folder's name, 
the

bookmarked web site goes into that folder? Then when I want to go to a
bookmarked page, I first go to the folder and then the bookmark in the 
list?

Is the folder's names first letter navigation as is for the bookmarks?

BTW..like your signature tag

Daily Tip:
Manage Your Bookmarks

It may seem like common sense to bookmark a Web page that you visit
regularly. But what about organizing your bookmarks? Organizing your
bookmarks can help you save time and potential frustration over lost
links. Not sure where to start? In Internet Explorer, click the down 
arrow
next to the Add To Favorites icon and select Organize Favorites. Click 
the

New Folder button at the bottom left of the pop-up box. You can create as
many folders as you want. Here are some folder name suggestions to help
you get organized: Business (online banking, stocks, etc.), Entertainment
(your favorite fun sites), Travel (your travel wish list or plans),
Miscellaneous (weather, news, etc.) You can also create subfolders in any
of your original folders; simply click the folder in which you want to 
add

a subfolder and click New Folder.

 Daily Term:
landscape image

Refers to an image that is framed horizontally so the scene spreads out
from side to side. A portrait image differs in that the image is framed
vertically so the scene spreads out up and down.

Hi Vicky,
I haven't done this thru Internet Explorer, but here is how you can do it
just like
working with files and folders in My Documents.
1. Press Windows key +R, to open the run dialogue, and type the following,
and press enter
favorites
2. Now, you are in the Favorites folder where you can manipulate files and
folders as you would anywhere else on the computer.
You can create new folders, and then copy and paste your internet 
shortcuts

into the folders you want them in.
I don't access my Favorites from Internet Explorer, I placed a shortcut to
the Favorites folder on my Start menu and Access them from there.
It is much quicker to organize them without opening Internet Explorer.

Daily Tip:
Shortcuts Are Key

If you're like many PC users, you spend most of your work time at a desktop 
PC, but often take a notebook PC when you leave the office. In doing so, you 
may not learn all of the keyboard shortcuts that make life much easier with 
notebook PCs, which have cramped keyboards and other input devices that are 
less than user-friendly. Print out a list of shortcut commands on a sheet of 
paper and take it with you wherever you go. It might take a while before you 
remember most shortcuts, but the more you put them to use, the easier your 
computer will be to use.

  Daily Term:
loader

A program utility that moves a program from storage into memory, where it 
can begin operation.

Interestingly, I was just having a conversation about spam and harvesting
of email addresses, just the other day.

One function that is available in the email specification that most people
do not know about, and even some email clients won't support is the
extended address.  You can put a plus sign between your ID and the at
sign.  And then you can put anything you want between the plus sign and at
sign.  Most email clients will just accept the information between the
plus and at, and ignore it.

Why is this useful?  You can use that information to more easily filter
incoming spam, or see just who has sold your email addi to the spammers.

For example, say I am leaving my address on some blog site, because it
requires an email address to leave a comment or something.  I can put in,
as my address.

dr25+blogcomm...@andrew.cmu.edu

If I ever get an email from somewhere and the To address is
dr25+blogcomm...@andrew, I know where they got the address from.

Or, say I want to make use of a one time coupon or something on a web
site, but know they will start sending me crap every week, stuff that I
don't want.  I can sign up on the site with an email address of
dr25+nos...@andrew.cmu.edu and then create a rule in my email client that
says, anything with a To address of dr25+NoSpam, or even just anything
with NoSpam in the To header, just delete it.

It doesn't always work because some web sites won't accept the extended
address, or they are smart enough to remove any extended part of the
address when they spam you.  Never-the-less it can be helpful.

of email addresses, just the other day.

One function that is available in the email specification that most people
do not know about, and even some email clients won't support is the
extended address.  You can put a plus sign between your ID and the at
sign.  And then you can put anything you want between the plus sign and at
sign.  Most email clients will just accept the information between the
plus and at, and ignore it.

Why is this useful?  You can use that information to more easily filter
incoming spam, or see just who has sold your email addi to the spammers.

For example, say I am leaving my address on some blog site, because it
requires an email address to leave a comment or something.  I can put in,
as my address.

dr25+blogcomm...@andrew.cmu.edu

If I ever get an email from somewhere and the To address is
dr25+blogcomm...@andrew, I know where they got the address from.

Or, say I want to make use of a one time coupon or something on a web
site, but know they will start sending me crap every week, stuff that I
don't want.  I can sign up on the site with an email address of
dr25+nos...@andrew.cmu.edu and then create a rule in my email client that
says, anything with a To address of dr25+NoSpam, or even just anything
with NoSpam in the To header, just delete it.

It doesn't always work because some web sites won't accept the extended
address, or they are smart enough to remove any extended part of the
address when they spam you.  Never-the-less it can be helpful.
