The strange thing is, that all other settings like smtp_url, record, from, etc. are beeing set correctly. Do I have to unset the folder-path before changing it (and is 'folder' even the responsible variable)? Prendick

Hyphens are not used only for splitting words; they are also used for joining words to form compounds, as when forming a single adjective as in "ten-foot pole" or "off-track pedantry". In the example above, however, since the modifier "off track" follows "pedantry", the correct usage is without the hyphen: pedantry is never off track. Regards, Gary
Re: newbie install
Thank you for your help and comments. Just to recap i had wanted to use a text editor to speed up answering emails and considered Mutt and Emacs. I had used Thunderbird for sometime and liked the app. A text email client seemed the answer but i wasn't that impressed by Mutt. However, i'm not as knowledgeable as some and setting up Mutt was ok but still involved quite a bit of work. I got it all working and did appreciate your help. Yesterday i came across a Thunderbird addon Muttador (still beta stage - vi editor) and today came across a non-mozilla TB addon called Exteditor... http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=2 some v.clever person has developed an external editor addon instead of the TB editor. It allows emacs, vi, joe, gedit or whatever to compose emails. Should be of interest to anyone who wants to say goodbye to the mouse while editing emails. james 2009/2/21 Gary Johnson : > On 2009-02-21, Chris Bannister wrote: >> On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 11:55:00AM -0500, Noah Sheppard wrote: >> > On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 10:44:45AM -0600, Kyle Wheeler wrote: >> > > [..] >> > > Of course, now we're getting into pedantry, and kinda off track. :) >> > >> > We are computer geeks; pedantry is never off-track. >> ^ >> No need for the hyphen; you are not splitting a word. > > Hyphens are not used only for splitting words; they are also used > for joining words to form compounds, as when forming a single > adjective as in "ten-foot pole" or "off-track pedantry".

There is also a firefox addon "it's all text" that allow using external editors for textarea editing such writing emails for webmails. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 唐詩269 李白 下江陵 朝辭白帝彩雲間 千里江陵一日還 兩岸猿聲啼不住 輕舟已過萬重山
