OT: Re: Split the list or calm down ?

2002-10-15 Thread Dr E D F Williams

Looks like I've come back at the end of another flare-up. I'll hang about a
bit to see if it fades away. Why wait? Because I missed the informative
posts. I hope it doesn't start all over again. This kind of thing is so
boring. I don't know how long I've been on this list because twice, at
least, Outlook Express has destroyed the contents of all its folders.

The rules are no longer working and all messages now remain in the inbox
instead of being moved to the 'pdml' folder. Does anyone know why? Has
something happened to the arrangement of the headers? I gave up the digest
because it was a chore to sort through the messages. Its easier to remove
individual messages - a one step process.

By the way: the insurance company finally paid up and I got a new monitor.
Samsung 19 SyncMaster 959NF. It's a cinch to set up for Photoshop and it
stays set up. This is more than the Nokia it replaces ever did.

Welcome back.

In a sad way I am glad to hear that OE has trashed some of your
folders.  Only glad that it confirms my experiences.  I have lost
several folders of emails on several systems using OE.  I have since
switched away from it and have had no problems since.

I hope that the list flare ups are ebbing.  We have a couple of new
members who haven't quite got the hang of the style of the list and
are causing some waves.  We also have a few who are very upset with
Pentax for not announcing anything concerning a DSLR at the recent
Photokina event.  There are alot of us who would just like to have the
list settle down and get back to business - photography, Pentax
equipment, etc.  Way to much bandwidth has been used recently that is
not what this list is about.

Have you tried Eudora ? Why use a MS product which does not do the job
and which is most vulnerable to virus attacs ? Backups could be nice every
now and then too ;-)
