Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx and References header for USENET messages
David Woolley wrote: when it can, but adding at least three mids instead of one would already be a good improvement, limiting the huge majority of the broken threads. I'm not sure if it was only in a draft, but I believe that the protocol requirement is to always retain the thread root and to maintain at least the most recent three, as well, but with a should level preference to retain all. I couldn't find the rfc making clear the number of headers that should be included, but your comment seems more than reasonable to me. Using the standard quotation marks would also be nice. These two wishes (more mids in References header and standard quotation mark), IMHO, should not be hard to implement but would notably improve Lynx.

[Lynx-dev] Lynx and References header for USENET messages
Hi, I remarked that Lynx adds only one reference when it posts messages across USENET, even if there are more message-ids (mids) that can be put. If -and that happens from time to time- the mid used as the reference is not relayed on a server, then the message posted using Lynx may not be included in the original thread. Would it be possible to add more message-ids in the Reference header? Thunderbird add much much more when it can, but adding at least three mids instead of one would already be a good improvement, limiting the huge majority of the broken threads. Consider this a feature request, and sorry if this is already a filed bug :) Sorry for my poor English as well, and best regards. ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
[Lynx-dev] Problems with Lynx and Wine
Hi, To see if Lynx for Windows worked fine with Google, I downloaded the version with an installer from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/lynx-win32-pata/19739/Lynx286dev17TH.exe and installed it using wine (windows compatibility layer for GNU/Linux). But when I launch it, I get the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Lynx for Win32$ wine lynx.exe LINES value must be = 2 and = 15594: got 0 initscr(): LINES=0 COLS=1: too small. Is there an easy work around to fix that ? If so, maybe changing the the LINE value to 2 in the default settings would allow wine compatibility. I know that's not very important as Lynx packages work quite fine, but just in case...

There is plenty of evidence of active development and code maintenance in both the readable text and breakout subdirectory date stamps. Indeed, and that's how I ended up in this mailing list and why I'm boring you right now :) . But honestly, I had to search for quite a while. I'm rather used to mozilla website, with all its updates and so on, so without clear information, it wasn't easy. It's common for external links to degrade over time, but putting energy into maintaining clean code should be preferred over website maintenance, especially when the included and very detailed documentation is the best source of usage information. Agreed. Perhaps an overhaul was a bit exaggerated but frankly I think that some more information would be useful. A notice telling that as of .. (fill in) the development is still going on, and that for more information one should have a look at the FAQs and the mailing list archives with a link would be an acceptable compromise IMHO. Also, patakuti's Lynx with the installer should definitely be hosted on the main site for Windows users. One more thing: As you may have guessed, English is not my native tongue: in exchange, I'd gladly do my best to translate any Lynx related file into French and/or Turkish. Just realise that you'll have to cope with a newbie and that I'll need time. Apart from that, feel free to send me a message if a translation would be useful. I'd be more than pleased if I could help the project in some way. The mailing list archives are the next best place to look when searching for specific issues. Right. A little question though: is this mailing list the right place for newbie end users with their boring questions, or is there a better place for them (and me)?

The Turkish (tr.po) is more current, though none of us can gauge its quality. Er...Firstly, I hope you really noticed that you'll have to cope with a newbie who had difficulties to find a Windows version of Lynx. As for the po files, there are two fr.po in http://lynx.isc.org/po/ . Which one should I pick up? Where's the 'authoritative' po file? Is it http://lynx.isc.org/po/lynx.po ? If so, it seems quite old (19990525). As for the tr.po, I just couldn't find it. Well, tell me where the authoritative po file and fr tr po files are, and I'll try to do my best. I think I'll have a look at http://www.poedit.org but UniRed could also do the job. PS: In my first message, I talked about a message ID but it was incorrect.

As Doug points out, this distribution has an _installer_; just double click should do it. Thanks a lot for this link, and thanks to the one who developed this version. I downloaded this version and it worked quite fine for posting messages in newsgroups, I didn't have to use the lynx.cfg file at all. Just the newspost:// command, and it worked, where the version downloaded from http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/wlynx/lynx_w32.2.8.2rel.1.zip didn't work. Maybe a bug in this version, or a needed setting in the .cfg file that I wasn't able to set and that the installer did for me. Anyway, I know where to ask my questions when I have further questions (special 8 bit characters, why Lynx displayed some text in French, I'll have to look at that). Let me put a few remarks about the lynx home page, though: Before subscribing to the mailing-list, when I just visited the website I thought that the project wasn't maintained at all since a few years. Some tutorial links are broken, and executable versions for Dos and Windows are not up to date. IMHO some little updates, not to say an overhaul would make sense, especially for basic users like me.
