Well, this is ok, but I just wanna answer to the mailing list. If I want to do it I have to delete two of the adresses it indicates. 2) Reply: With this option, the message is adressed to the person who has written it. Well, this is another choice.

(because I wouldn't be able to detach it in screen[1] and take it to work.) Things like being able to gradually reduce the priority of messages based on how many newsgroups they're cross-posted to, or whether they've got all-caps subject lines become invaluable very quickly. And being able to automagically highlight anything that's a follow-up to your own post is nice for busy groups.

How to move the profile folder to another drive???
time! The mail and LDAP is now really usable. However, under WinNT it migrates my Netscape Navigator profile over to Mozilla, but puts it under my WinNT profile on my hard drive (i.e. C:\WINNT\PROFILES\username\APPLICATION DATA\MOZILLA). It cannot be put there, because we use NT roaming profiles and it increases the size of my profile beyond what the limits imposed upon us are. And when doing the import/conversion of the Netscape profile, it never asks you where you would like to store it. We have a network folder where these things need to go... So, what does one do to MOVE the Mozilla profile folder over to another drive and still retain all your settings? Or is there a way I can reinstall it (or re-run the Netscape converter) and have Mozilla ask me where I want to put the folder? Thanks in advance. Tom -- |||/ (@@) ooO_(_)_Ooo |___||_|__ |_|_|_|___

Re: Another suggestion.
Yes I save copies of all correspondence on newsgroups and email That I have. I have an electronics newsgroup (that's sent in email format). I save everyone of those messages and then compress them in groups of two hundred in .sit format. Then when i get a group of 10 or more of the sit files I then move them to zip 250 cartridges for backup. Communicator picks up the titles of the messages automatically (at least the mac version does) Mozilla doesn't do that it forces you to remember the title and spell everything correctly. when I save such items I just scan read them and save them. If I save several hundred in a day that takes a long time. As for sending original response I thought I sent it to list (at least I read it in the list). If it was sent to you in error my appologies. I am sending a copy of this to you and the newsgroup this time. It's deliberate this time. Alex Usero wrote: Ok Phillip, I didn't understand your message, sorry.

You're probably thinking of format or fdisk or something, both of which go to great pains to make sure you really want to do what you say you want to do. And on NT/2000, you'll get nowhere trying to do so from anything other than an admin acct. And for the record, I've never once accidentally wiped out the contents of any drive, root or otherwise, on any Windows system. I know of nobody who's done so. On Unix its my understanding you have to login is root first before you can do the same thing. Although I have 18 years experience on Computers PC's and Mac's. I am still human and could accidently do something wrong. So I like a system that attempts to save me from myself. So after you've accidentally brought up a command.com and accidentally typed format c:, you then accidentally answer yes to the question Do you really want to format your root partition?? I think you'd better stay away from computers altogether Phil. When I first started out I was uncomfortable mucking around in programing in DOS even creating autoexec.bat and config.sys files. Despite my ablities in Electronics and Hardware repair. I always felt inadaquate trying frograming even in the mildest of Basic. I always felt that people that had those abilities were more of the MIT types. Not sure what any of that has to do with an illogical love of the Mac. -- -- Phillip M.

Re: How to move the profile folder to another drive???
by the Cache directory. Take a look at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78480 GTG Tom wrote We have a network folder where these things need to go... So, what does one do to MOVE the Mozilla profile folder over to another drive and still retain all your settings? Or is there a way I can reinstall it (or re-run the Netscape converter) and have Mozilla ask me where I want to put the folder? Thanks in advance. Tom

loader.exe
as far as I know, there would be a loader.exe to preload mozilla on windows startup. This would increase startup-time dramatically. Is this only distributed in Mozilla 0.9.1 because I only dowloaden Nigthly's (latest is 2001060704) and I cana't find it. Can't find anything else on the release notes. Please inform me.

Run: mozilla.exe -turbo This will load mozilla into ram. Then when you run: mozilla.exe it will load instantanously as everything it needs is already in ram. All you need to do is add an icon for mozilla -turbo in your startup folder, and place an icon for mozilla on your desktop and you're set.

Re: Identify browser as Internet Exploder
powerballz wrote: Is there any way to fake your browser version like you can in Opera? The problem with doing this though is that webmasters will be getting skewed demographics and continue to force non-standard MS-HTML on us. But on the other hand, if the company is deliberately denying non-MS browsers because of illegal contractual obligations either implied or expressed with M$FT, then there is little we can do by either complying or LYING about our browser. I'd rather lie than be assimlated with all the sheep, how about you? user_pref(general.useragent.override, Mozilla/9.0 (some OS of your choice)); Put that in your user.js file in your profile (create it if its not present) and edit the agent string as whatever you like, but it takes a restart of the browser for it to take affect. -- Alex:3)~~ http://www.gerbilbox.com/newzilla/

Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T. wrote: That's one of the things I've liked the Mac system up until OS-X is that you can't wipe out all the contents of the hard drive you are working on by accident. It has to be a deliberate act. Same in OS X. there's not way to do it by accident, unless you're a complete freaking idiot. GW Bush might be able to do it, but I've yet to see someone do it by accident. On windows use of the Init C: command and poof! all the contents is unceremoniously wiped off the face of the startup up drive. Nope. It's Format c: and even then it asks for confirmation. And even then you can quit without damage. Until it gets to 99%, nothing is actually written to the drive. Hit Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Break, Ctrl-Alt-Del, the reset or power buttons and you're safe. And that's only from a command prompt. Inside the GUI itself, right click on the drive, select format, and it'll tell you that it can't do that, and not let you continue. Even if it did, you'd STILL have to click another button confirming you're choice. So I like a system that attempts to save me from myself. The rest of us hate being treated like idiots.

If they want to pay me for the extra work of coding poorly, fine. Otherwise I code it so that it looks good in the majority of browsers without butt-ugly code. I've never used LAYERs for a client site, because even in NS4 they were deprecated. I've never used document.all (even though it's handy) but found other more compatible means.

Specifically I have problems with a simple JSP page that displays all HTTP header fields. After reloading this page I used to see a cookie. This is not the case with mozilla 0.9.1. The servlet engine is Tomcat 3.2. Hi, I have also a problem with Tomcat 3.2, cookies and Mozilla 0.9.1, the mozilla browser is the only browser not working with the session cookie set by my application. It looks like timeout is reached immediatly ! I will investigate more and may be I encounter the same problem. Did you add a bug report in bugzilla for this problem ? David. Sören
