Re: Mail playing up
Hello Bill and Ronni Another thing that can happen to cause this is if you remove your mail account and then re-install it with the same details, the signature shows up but isn't attached correctly. It shows in your mail signatures pane but not when you go to create an email. This happened to me in Tiger 10.4.11 only this morning after a sync with Mobile.Me from Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and a subsequent clean up. I got it sorted out eventually, only to find out later that you had a similar issue. As usual, Ronni's sound advice will fix it.

If I have understood your problem correctly, and they have never worked in Mail, you have not set up the signatures correctly. When you created the signatures, did you add them to your particular accounts? They won't show up in the pull down menus without that. After you create a signature drag it to a particular account right there in the signatures pane. Then it should become available in the pull down menu for that account. 1. First create a signature in Mail. 2. Then in Mail preferences Signatures go to All Signatures section, your signature will be there. 3. Drag and drop it on every account you want to use it with. You can also make a signature default so that you don't have to use the pull down menu every time. Let us know if you need further help with this problem.

Other strange mail behaviour
Afternoon all, Since going over to Snow Leopard mail has been sending mail out OK but randomly puts copies in the Draft box as well as the Sent box, some of these messages have the original recipients address and some have no address at all. Has anyone any suggestions as to the cause of this?

No, the messages are sent OK. but of some reason it is also put into the Draft box. This is occurring quiet randomly with the messages and with the addressees.

This is occurring quiet randomly with the messages and with the addressees. I know the messages sent okay. What I'm trying to say is that the DRAFTS (i.e., incl automatic drafts made in the background) are saved to the DRAFTS folder. This also explains why they may be missing some addresses - they are drafts from way back before you'd finished the message. When you send the message, it's sent okay but the old drafts are left behind in the drafts folder until the server expunges them. At least this is exactly how it works for me.

Thanks James. It is not missing any accounts in send at all. The drafts only seem to appear the next day. Hopefully Ronni's suggestion will solve it.

Re: Built-in FM tuner
Sev other interested folk, I have tried to research the area of digital radio but reliable sources are far and few between. For example, the first time I have come across the frequency that the DAB+ digital broadcasters are using is in James / Hans Kunz's contribution to this discussion. At last I know what type and dimension of antenna I should be designing. What I have also found out is that it seems that in Australia the big cities will have DAB+ digital, but the rest of the country will get DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale), which uses Mediumwave (AM), Shortwave (AM) and FM frequencies to carry digital signals over much greater distances than the high-frequency DAB+ transmissions. So, if you live away from the current DAB+ transmitter sites then don't buy a digital receiver that only decodes DAB+. The ABC is already testing DRM on 1386kHz AM from a 3kW transmitter in Wollongong, NSW, and there are several shortwave DRM broadcasts that you can receive in Western Australia with a suitable receiver. Have a look at http://www.drm.org/for-broadcasters/live-broadcast-schedule/, and their main page. I hope that the EyeTV people will soon produce software that will allow us to decode digital radio via our Macs. Let us know if you can find out more about future plans for digital radio in Australia.

tabbed browsing not working
Hello all, The tabbed browsing no longer works. Clicking on a link while holding the command key down used to open the new page in a new tab. The other available options also don't work any more.
