Yes it has been discussed before, and yes, it has been ignored. I belong to at least two dozen mailing lists, and this one is unique in its inability to handle this problem. Clearly it¹s not an insolvable problem. From: dwain dwain.alf...@gmail.com Subject: [WSG] blocking out of office replies

This is probably off topic, if you want to discuss off line, I'm happy to help. I do this daily, on three different Macs. FWIW, I used to be an executive at Microsoft, but use Macs in my daily life. I retreat to Windows only as needed. I use Parallels, although others report good success with

I belong to 20+ email lists, yet this is the ONLY list upon which OOF messages show up. I'm sure the many thousands of members on those lists aren't that conscientious. There has to be something that YAHOO and other list programs are doing to prevent them from getting through. And it can't be

This technique (as well as almost all others in this thread) is/has been cracked by virtually every spam harvester. Security by obfuscation is no security at all. Just put in straightforward mailto: links pointing to a designated email address. Then help your customers get a good spam filter

Perhaps the most amazing thing in all of this is Target¹s willingness to continue this fight into court. Aside from all the stunningly bad publicity of a major company standing up to fight a group of seemingly defenseless blind people, and the ridiculously poor example they set for all

I am using Wordpress to power my entire site (http://clwill.com), static pages, integrated blog, everything, and it is hosted by 1and1. It works wonderfully. Just install WP locally on your LAMP setup, pick a theme that you like, and start fiddling. If you create pages in WP, they are

As I said, none if this us anywhere near as hard as you're making it. Go into the theme's directory and open up the files. Change just a couple of small things and see how it changes things. You'll quickly see that this isn't complex. Dive right in. See below: From: dwain [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's not my client... it is Nick's. I'm just saying that for decades, heavy data entry programs have used enter to move between fields, and yes, shift-enter to move back. If they are converting an existing app to use a browser, the client may well prefer to change the app, not the 100 users...

At the risk of taking this completely OT, I might ask those of you who are incredulous of the use of the enter key to move between fields to take a look at the number keypad way over on the right hand side of a full-sized keyboard. Notice the enter key there? Imagine yourself keying in numbers
