ADVICE:  Ask Chuck Connell: Sending e-mails with buttons Dear Chuck: I was creating e-mails containing buttons and everything worked fine. Now when I try to send an e-mail containing a button, I get this error: "The following items cannot be sent or saved in MIME (Internet mail) format." Underneath it mentions the button. It must be my local setting because I am able to send e-mail from mine or other mailboxes on a different computer. Click here to read Chuck's expert response.

TV sends out strong signal -- to the world [Reuters] Sending out an SOS -- when you don't really need to -- can get you into big trouble. A 20-year-old college student in Oregon found that out first hand. It seems his cool, flat-screen Toshiba TV broadcast more than just The Real World episodes. His TV put out an international distress signal. How did he find out that his TV was like E.T.'s record player? When the police, civil air patrol, and search and rescue teams came to his apartment looking for someone in distress! Of course, being a college student, his only distress is choosing between Domino's and Pizza Hut. Toshiba offered to replace his mischievous TV, which was nice considering he was threatened with a $10,000 fine for broadcasting a false distress signal -- which would have been truly distressing.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
