Breaking Mail







Breaking Mail

Breaking Mail 06/17/2005 05:03 PM

We (Creative Commons) just upgraded to Apple's Tiger to get the benefit of some cool new iCal features. I'm regretting the decision already. I had moved to Mail.app a while ago, after being frustrated with Entourage's bloat. And after some tinkering, I had crafted a series of hotkeys to automatically move mail from the inbox to different folders. I have always been astonished that this function wasn't integrated into mail applications -- do you all really drag and drop the hundred of emails you file, or do you just not file email? Anyway, though Apple proudly lists all the improvements to Mail as an inducement to upgrade, it doesn't list the things it broke -- in particular, scripting. No longer can you script within Mail. And while you can script at the system level, hot-key support for those scripts doesn't work right now. This is a bug, no doubt. I imagine they'll fix it. But meanwhile, they've also changed the naming convention for such scripts (used to be ctrl, now ctl, etc., or something like that). All of which makes me wonder: who is it that thinks changes like this are improvements? How could you ever imagine that there's more good than harm done by a change like this? Just part of an endless conspiracy to disable the ability to automate life in macland. Why work to automate when some genius will change a convention to force you to recode every time you "up"grade a system? Update: I thought I had posted this update last week. Sorry for the delay. Just about an hour after I posted this, a modest coder sent along his work which solves the problem. Check out Red-Sweater's Fastscripts. See also this free plug-in.

Since I've been using the Powerbook (which I still need to replace with a newer one now that the "speed bump" is official), I've drastically changed my e-mail habits (personal mail, not work mail). In doing so, I wonder if I'm unusual in this respect. Previously, I was using mutt for e-mail on my IBM Thinkpad running Linux. If you've not tried it, mutt is really the king of all console-based mail programs. It excels at making it very easy...

Email Sentinel Pro 2.6 prevents users from receiving dangerous e-mails, by blocking attachments, scripts, images and spamming techniques before they reach the Inbox folder. Viruses aren't the only reason to be concerned about HTML email. Spammers use email bugs, scripts and images hidden in the HTML to track anyone who opens their email. E-mail Sentinel Pro stops spammers from verifying an address. [PRWEB Jul 15, 2004]

Mark Hurd, who will take over the reins at floundering tech giant Hewlett-Packard on Friday, was grilled by analysts Wednesday about whether he plans drastic restructuring of the company.

Hurd, formerly the chief executive officer of NCR (Research), was named CEO on Tuesday. During an introductory conference call with the financial community Wednesday morning, Hurd stressed that his primary goal is to repair the problems at HP (Research), and not necessarily break up the company. "You talk about problems but there are a bunch of opportunities at the same time," Hurd said in response to one question about strategy. "I want to get underneath every piece of the business and will be focused on doing my best to optimize each part."

Summer is finally here, and for many Americans that means barbecues, pool parties and, of course, road trips. But with the high price of gas, even a short road trip can leave drivers feeling a lot lighter in the wallet. People tired of emptying their wallets every time they fill up the tank can now turn to a free service on MSN® at http://www.autos.msn.com/ that makes it easy to find less expensive gas in their area. The customized service analyzes prices at 30,000 gas stations daily. All consumers have to do is type in their ZIP code, and MSN will tell them less expensive places to fill up.
