Whate exactly blinks. I mean the http: address applied to the whole message at the
end. One in the middle
shouldn't be any trouble. I have inserted no html at all, except for the stamp at
the end, which linuxchix inserts. Does this one blink. It shouldn't I have told it
send NO HTML UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES. NONE AT ALL. SO WHY DOES IT BLINK?? WHere is
ae? Before you run off tell me if this blinks..Baffling, no HTML at all, as far as
I can see. Is it some stray control character?

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

Big Sigh this could scare me into WINDOWS. or at least Phat LINUX.

I should have posted the message that figured out last night. It was either an
anomoly or perhaps a stray control character. In some very old mailers, control
charactyers where used for special purposes. In on a BBS I co-sysoped Control-N
meant *BRIGHTEN AND EMPHASIZE* Doing Control-N again turned off the feature.
Sometimes things like that happen. I send the mail personally so the http
hypertext for linuxhix didn;t show up. Whatever the problem went away. These
things are hard to trace in old old mailers. NO one has yet told me where ae is?
and is there a map of countries saying which abbreviation is which. I know
Australia is formally au but Aussies informally will often use "oz" thought this
is not official. Same as NYC is not official but so recognized that no one
worries about it and demands New York, New York or NY,NY. If threre were a
pointer to these country abbreviations used on the net I'd really love to see it.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

[techtalk] KFM weirdness.

1999-12-01 Thread Sunnanvind

I'm using KDE + RedHat (so sue me ;), and I have a KFM browser window that's
trying to open a webpage ( http://www.svt.se/noje/robinson , not that it
matters). Whenever I close that window, all my icons dissappear and I'm unable
to start programs under KDE. All I can do is restart KDE, and there I get that
browser window again. How can I rid myself of it?
I'm sorry if this is in a faq or a FM.
BTW, does the "K" stand for Kallisti?

See RFC 1394 (www.faqs.org)
.ae is the united arab emirates, IIRC, and is in the middle east on the
north border of kuwait, again, IIRC.

Where are you getting that?  I have 10M for the servers dir in CVS (it
would be nice if it was 51k. I could do a clean checkout more often..).
Maybe you have the new server, stage, which is only in spec at this time.

Oh, I guess you have the tarball of the demo server.  That's just the
demo, and we're in development.  The current big thing is arguing about
the protocol.. feel free to stop in on irc if you want to talk to
people..

Ok, moved to techtalk, i think.  Someone's mailer or something seems to
be doing something such that the issues list shows up in the TO line
then 2 times in the CC line..

Unless she's been posting on linux-kernel through a remailer or using an
alternate identity, she's already got her name and locaton on the net. I
don't see why she'd have an issue with that, but if you wanted to, I
suppose
you should just ask her if you can mention her, or if she wants to
introduce herself..

Uh-huh.  On mine the address is in the Subject and CC fields.  The
Reply-To: sent it to the correct list, though.

If I can get her attention in the next few days, I'll do that.
