Re: highlighting and deleting batches of spam
On Thu, 4 Dec 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use a filter to put what's likely to be spam in a folder and then prune out what's real mail and delete the rest. The problem is that every message needs to be opened and then deleted, which doesn't work because so much spam takes forever to open due to url lookups etc., or highlighted with shift enter and then deleted. That saves opening the individual mails, but still requires a clickitalic per/italic message. I get lots (lots!) of spam. Often I'll need to delete 100 messages in a row. Is there a way to highlight a message and then select all subsequent messages up to a specific message? That way you could eyeball a list and delete message 1 through 65 with less than a handful of clicks, rather than the 65+ I'm going through. If not, what would be the best way to add a menu item that lets you select message 1 - 65, e.g., for deletion. Wow... is this seriously off topic or what :-) /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Maybe it's not a function, but just a character? If nothing else, you should be able to use a 'command-sequence' that inserts a '\', and then you bind the command sequence to whatever key you like.

BibTeX group on LyX wiki
Hi Since there's been a lot of questions about BibTeX lately, I've added a group for this to the LyX wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/BibTeX There's not much content there at the moment, so if you for instance know of links to tutorials or manuals for using BibTeX, please add them to this page: http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/BibTeX/Links /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

My interpretation of "here" was to him. Flog away..., IMO the question is relvant in general to user's of this list.. (I'd say 3+K is short but I'm on 10Mbit...) Actually, the expression "minimal example file" comes to mind... so I guess in general it's ok with attachments if they are "minimal" (i.e. without extra bloat) -- unless they are "too" big :-) /Christian -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

You might want to consider adding a single line with '-- ' in front of your signature, since that would allow some mail software to recognize it as a signature and automatically remove it in replies. -- Christian Ridderström http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
