Hi,
Why make it harder and more complicated than it has to be? Unless of course you
want to only use the defaults, then it’s a different matter, but if you really
want to configure Mut at least when i used it, the config file was several
kilometers long and as development probably has
You should be able to change your default editor in mutt to something else like
nano (which, yes, is already on your Mac). Probably definable in .muttrc or in
.profile or .bashrc (these aren’t there by default but should be able to create
them…)
export editor=nano

It’s not the same app, I’ve seen it but as I managed to copyright the name I’m
assuming the developer of that app hasn’t. It’s possible that I can change the
name for the iOS version. It’s something to worry about after I’ve got the app
working a little better.
Thanks for pointing it out
Hi all, I got a portable external hard drive for christmas and have been using
it with Time Machine which I have a question about.
If I were to leave Time Machine on but not have my portable hard drive
connected, would this still drain the battery on my Mac Book Pro?
This is just a question that
But keeping your Mac Book Pro on will also drain the battery so where is the
logic in this question if you don't mind me asking?
What i mean is, you are going to leave your Mac Book on off the mains I presume
so that will also run down the battery will it not? So having your time machine

No, it will not affect battery life at all.

Time machine kicks off about one an hour to backup anything that has

All the directions say VO + left or right should work. However, it

Okay. I think I know what your problem is and how you have to solve it.
It sounds to me like you need to make sure Voice OVer is turned on. Press
Cmd+F5 to do this. Now, once it’s on, I suspect you need to go in to system
preferences, choose the keyboard tab, and, from there, make sure that

Hi,
Actually, you’ve picked pretty difficult sites to start with there. Twitter,
for instance, has all sorts of available keystrokes for reading things, but VO
isn’t perfect on there, usable but not perfect. Most Google sites have become
awful and most of us don’t use an awful lot of Google

Bear in mind that the quick nag toggle of left/right arrows is not turned on by

I usually let DropBox install itself where it deems necessary. Mine is in
