That's one reason I have never had it set to empty the deleted items folder
when I shut the computer off, no matter what email program I use. This way,
I control when I get rid of the messages. The only time I use shift delete
is when I have a message that won't delete the normal way. Pam.

Well, some of us use shift-delete. There is no going back from that
one. Also, if one should think they are finished with email and close
the program, there goes the trash on many systems. So, it is not always
so easy to bring back something from the trash folder. One must
remember they needed that file before leaving the mail program. I have
personally tried to help others that have lost files this way. The only
way to be sure a message is not deleted until you delete it from the
trash is to make certain that "empty trash on exit" is turned off. This
means you will have to empty the trash as you go along.

For all members of the list,
As a friendly reminder:
We all eventually touch that Delete-key, when it was inconvenient. That
important message should not have been deleted; and what do you do now?
First of all, all the mail clients I have been in touch with, do have a
Trash folder. Whenever you hit the Delete-key, messages typically are
moved there. They are not altered, or modified in any way. As a matter
of fact, do you go to the trash folder of your mail program, you can
quickly "re-insert" the message, back inot the folder it originally
belonged to. So, before asking the group members to send out yet another
message, generating extra clutter on the list, and taking up time from
others, may you please check your trash folder first.
One thing is, when you have deleted a message that is several days,
weeks or even months old. It then could be a mess to try refinding it in
the trash folder. But if you know it is only a few days ago the original
message was received, it should be not too hard to bring it back on-stage.
Oh for sure, there is a way to permanently delete a message. It might
often be a combo with the delete-key, like Shift-Del, or Ctrl-Del -
depending on your mail client. Did you happen to use that combo when
deleting the message? Please, don't despair all yet. At the bottom of
any message from the list, there is a short note that reads:

http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com
How about that? Smiles.
And then, what if you are using a web-based mail service? I was under
the impression that even those services do offer the Trash feature,
although they might name it indifferently.
OK, was it only a short note you are looking for, like a mail address or
some subscription information, it might not be too hard for others to
retype and resend the info. But what about when you ask for a
wtep-through guide of some sort? Besides, even refinding subscription
info or the like, might take a bit of time from others, in their sincere
wish to help you out.
Again, I did not mean to discourage anyone from asking questions on the
list. I just wanted to remind all, that sometimes our mistakes do call
for a tiny bit of fooling around, on our own computer. Smiles. Let's ask
the list, when we do not have a chance of getting to the info ourselves,
or when we know someone might have an answer that works the best.
this list is not the worst, believe me. I have seen lists where people
tend to ask the same old questions over and over again, or spread the
same old story or other information. It seems no trouble, it is only a
line or two. But did you all know, an electronic mail holds numerous
lines. It has a load of technical information enclosed, to let the
servers between you and the recipient know how to handle the message. If
the mail is written in HTML, it will hold loads and hives of coding.
All-in-all, even if you only typed in 23 characters, your actual load on
the net servers might be more like 1000. In today's world, 1000
characters, or approx one Kilobyte, might seem harmless. But what do you
think, if one thousand users do the same? Or even, remember when you ask
a question, someone has to reply, and their reply might hold even a copy
of your message, raising the total load into the multiples. As a matter
of fact, even small clutter on every list, might bgenerate tons of
unnecessary net resources. And net resources are not out of the blue.
They do take servers to spin, fans to cool, and distribution centrals
for the cabling to operate. All of this takes electricity. Well, not
much to bother, but still might be worth to remind us all sometimes.
BTW, it was told on the radio the other day, that when you have a video
conference with your friend - say over services like Skype, the two of
you are actually generating loads of net resource consumption.
"Ah," you might think, "Can't really amount into anything much. After
all, it is all electronics!"
Surprise! At least I got quite astonished, when learning that such a
simple video conference, actually consumes electrical power, equal to
that of having TWO refridgerators running simultaneously and continiously.
Anyone wondered why we pay for our internet subscription? Smiles.

list. I accidently deleted it. Will you please resend the info to join
that list? Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.
