Snake, this sort of thing just won't happen if you stop using Outlook
and go over to a real newsreader and a real email program. Try Free
Agent (it's free) for newsreading and try Pegasus or Eudora for email.

Well, whadayaknow...those programs will override a deliberate
"accidental" post to a newsgroup?

R,
You simply configure MS Lookout to go to your mail account and the
newreader to go to the news account and keep them separate that way.
It's not foolproof but if you have to switch apps to do functions it'll
cut down on the chances of a mistake.

I use Thoth for newsreading and Mozzilla for mail.

Thanks, Allen, but a) there's a very good chance you got the term
(directly or indirectly) "Lookout (Distress)" from me, on or off ROFF,
which leads to b), I'd not use it for anything, at any time, configured
or unconfigured. I use a separate client for a newsreader (Agent, 1.93
and 2.0x) and I'm not the one who posted an alleged email to ROFF.

And as aside, I'm not particularly anti-MS - some of their stuff is OK,
some ain't, and no, I didn't and don't REALLY think "Gill Bates" is the
"Un-natural hellspawn of some four-eyed limp-wristed devil with a
perma-swirly and a light little chip on his weak, dainty shoulder"

Thanks, anyway,
R

(1) While no lover of MS products they do have their place and I do a
lot of design work on them for my customer (and my company just filed
for a patent on my behalf for a defence in depth security architecture
based primarly on Windows products) but given the results of a recent
study at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where it put two
unpatched Windows XP systems on the 'net, and both were compromised
within 20 minutes. you'll find nothing I personally depend on attached
to a Windows systems, all Mac and Linux for me.

(2) While I may have seen "Lookout" used by you it's been in use in our
internal Mac Users Group since that product came out.

so, lemee get this straight. you are accusing me of deliberatly posting
this message to roff? to what end? so all of roff can know i am currently
without a pot to **** in? not the kind of thing i worry too mcuh about
putting out there, but not something i brag about either. god, you're a
cynical one, aren't you?



Oh, and lest anyone start accusing me
of "laying on" good ol' snake's ass, I find particularly interesting the
inconsistent use of caps - for example, header vs. body.

i consider my general e-mail, and my newsgroup postings to be of a more
casual nature than something i would post to one of my instructors.
sometimes my habit of typing the latter in a said manner spills over into
more formal messages, and i don't always catch the errors. BFD


Oh, sure,
there'll be all sorts of defenders and white-knighting, but IMO, "snake"
is a perfect handle...

HTH,
R
...and how come the "oops, screwed up..." emails are never the boring,
meaningless-to-anyone-else emails

you find my e-mail to my instructor interesting? get a ****ing life........

Well, if the innocent version rules, it'll prevent another mistake.
If the deliberate version is the thing, it'll leave no excuse for
another, right?

As a starving student many many moons ago, my Grand Dad said to me, "Johnny
there's only two reasons for having that Winchester 30-30. One is to shoot
that big buck under the apple tree and the other is to hock it at the pawn
shop when you need cash at school". Expect a fly rod and reel would work
today.

He also said that he kept a half pint of Goood Smooooooouth sipping whiskey,
around just for medicinal purposes. Yep, said he felt poorly purt near all
the time!

Good luck!

Hi. Rebecca,
My financial aid has not been made available to me yet. the f.a. office
said that my bank should have it available to me in the next couple of
days.
Meanwhile, with just $50 to my name right now, I am unable to purchase the
packet. I am hoping that I will be able to get the packet in time to do
the
reading for Thursday, but I am a little concerned about it. Are there any
other resources through which I might access the reading?
