Re: rich text problem
My apologies for being stupid(er than usual). I see that Mail indeed offers message viewing control under PreferencesFonts Colors (set it so long ago I forgot where it was), and I am undoubtedly quite mistaken - memory fails me - that Outlook Express offered anything more under OS 9. Still: A bit odd that Mail doesn't directly offer the option to view all messages as plain text. As far as I can tell. If Mail (or any installed email client) can disregard and override font and type size HTML tags, theoretically it must be possible for it to be instructed to recognize some HTML tags and not recognize others. Evidently there's no market for such customization options, as I'd guess most people are as ambivalent as I about overdone HTML in email and that creators of email applications have no interest in something that defeats the trend toward snazzier-looking and more personalized (or more marketing-friendly) email.

The problem isn't in the receiving end, it's in the creation end. You'll need to go to MailPreferenceComposing TabComposing:Message Format: and select the Plain Text field. Alternatively, you can individually toggle each composed email using Shift-Cmd-T or by selected from the Mail menu bar under the FormatMake Plain Text/Rich Text toggle selection. As far as viewing, there isn't a simple way to reformat Rich Text as Plain Text, so you'd often end up with a gobbledygook message. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: importing iphoto files.
I did manage to somewhat successfully transfer the files over firewire. I had the pismo in target disk mode and it transferred the 6.5 gb worth of pictures, however, some pictures were psychedelic colors, and some were missing. And I got the same popup box (as noted in the original post above) that told me that the files could not be imported--even though they were right there in front of me. I deleted the files from the iphoto 6 library, and started over again. Only this time, I got the spinning wheel, and nothing transferred over even after leaving it on overnight. I'm flummoxed. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Mail Archiving
I use the Mac Mail Client Version 2.1.3 on my Late 2005 12 iBook OS X 10.4.11 1.33 GHz 1 GB Ram Right around now each year I make two new folders On My Mac, this year they're called 2010 Inbox and 2010 Sent. I then manually slide about 200 posts at a time from the previous year from the current Inbox and Sent mail into these respective folders. If I highlight more, the process usually chokes. Surely there is a simpler, and perhaps automated, way to get all the old mail out of the current Inbox, yet still keep it around!

I don't think you're going about this the right way. It appears you're trying to Import the old iPhoto library, and I believe the problem here is that you've skipped too many versions of iPhoto in trying to go from iPhoto 3 to iPhoto 6 directly without the intervening versions 5 6. I could be wrong, but it seems likely because iPhoto changed a lot between these versions. As I have said before, I believe the easist way to do what you're trying to do is manually navigate to the originals folder on the Pismo while the Pismo is mounted in Target Disk mode, and then drag drop the entire originals folder into the open iPhoto 6 application window so that they will be automatically imported. The problem with this method is that you will lose all of the editing changes you've made to any photos, but the advantage is that it should work seamlessly, giving you 100% of the original photos from the Pismo. If you have done extensive editing to the Pismo photos it would be a better idea to figure out the correct way to import the library WITH editing changes intact.

They aren't expensive, or difficult to replace, and most likely is causing all your problems. Repairing the permissions is always a good idea to. Losing time is almost always the PRAM battery. They are nominally 3.6 volts, but brand new ones will usually measure 3.68 volts, and will stay that way possibly for years. These batteries are essentially DEAD when the voltage measures 3.2 volts, or below. Some Macs will work with the battery as low as 3.0 volts, but that is never guaranteed. Losing your WiFi can also be due to a weak link to your router. If/when the link is weak, the connection will be refused, and you may be asked to re-submit your WPA parameters, even if those are already in your keychain. It is possible for the link to be detected, but then it is too weak to go through the authentication process, which requires that your keychain info matches the router info. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
