Oh, wait, CTRL-H! Sorry. Actually it isn't Outlook Express and it isn't developed by Microsoft. I hope I didn't give you the impression that it was OE or that it was developed by Microsoft. Perhaps you read it too quickly. And I don't know why you say that OE is the second worse email program? That was based on personal experience and the collective experience of a few thousand users I've come into virtual contact with over the years. |

Need Help to Find Files in Wins 8
"DianeLeMasson" escreveu na mensagem
... Hi Just got a new computer with windows 8. I exported my emails/messages into a different email program, not the one Wins 8 has included. Works fine. My question is: How do I find them on this computer/hard drive? I've read through the help, books, anything I can get my hands on, still not able to. It's probably right in my face & not seeing it. Yes I've unhidden files, if I did this correct in 'search' typed *,dbx, .dbx & dbx,, nothing!!! In Wins XP it was so simple to do, search files & folders. Can some kind person please explain the method of finding it or point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Diane --- You can select location and type name of the file in upper right box on windows explorer. |

And then it's tempting to hit carriage return in such a case. However, when the message is sent, it's being wrapped on transmission at 72. It means both a human and a machine, are modifying the appearance of the message. Personally, I'm a fan of using hard returns. How I do this, is set the wrap value to 1000 (meaning, don't wrap it for me). And I insert carriage return where ever I want to. In Thunderbird, in Advanced:Config Editor, that would be... mailnews.wraplength user set integer 1000 That quite possibly is self-defeating of the "format=flowed" in my message header. Oops! Paul |

When Diane typed it, it was probably like this.

On an old news client (no flowed support), it would be one long line. if it came from Google Groups, it would be one long line. With the stupid combination of settings I use, a recipient has to widen their news client window, until it's as wide as my message was as sent. Otherwise, the lines will be all broken up. http://i42.tinypic.com/2wqh742.gif mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support False mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed True I should probably be setting the second one to False. I don't remember the reason for having the settings as they are. Maybe it had something to do with quoted text from other messages. Not sure. And this is my wrap length mailnews.wraplength 1000 The default would be 72. HTH, Paul |

Reading through the many pages of infor I printed from all your help with my issue I found (thanks Big Al) where those .dbx files for OEClassic are stored. Plus other things I was curious to find. Big Al your explanation where and how to use 'search' was extremely helpful, though it didn't show the exact 'path' of where those .dbx files (for oeclassic) were but it gave me a direction to do so. So doing a happy dance right now!! Still digesting the other information you all have provided me, when I feel better I'm sure I'll have other questions. As for the Import/Export I see now how I confused/mixed them up. I should know better, to think before I write. And thanks for pointing that out to me! Okay got another problem or least think I do. Don't know if it has anything to do with this but happened after it was done. I had Windows 8, hubby updated to 8.1. My browser is IE 11. My homepage is My Yahoo. Since this update my homepage will not load completely, only some of it. I've refresh it many times still won't complete. I wouldn't care so much but I've personalized it to the way I want it. Don't have the foggiest idea why going to Wins 8.1 would effect just my homepage. Any ideas? However IE does load completely. (Too many carriage returns!) What I would do is to look at that page in a different browser, as a debugging technique. I.e., see how it acts there. It could just be that your homepage site is temporarily messed up, which a second browser would tend to verify - or not. That *does* require installing another browser, which might not be your idea of fun :-) The extra ones I have are Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Chrome https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ Safari (see remark) Actually, IE is an extra, since I use Firefox. Safari remark: the other browsers make it easy (well, possible) to find their websites; Safari doesn't, and Apple's web site doesn't either. I gave up. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) Hi Once more thank you for your help. Gene I see by what you mean about the carriage returns by my post on 1/18. As far as I can recall I didn't hit 'enter' to make those spaces for every sentence so I have no idea why it did. Then with post dated 1/19 my paragraphs appear normal, to me anyway. I also have no idea how or why my messages appear as you all see them. I do at times hit (CR) to begin a new sentence on a new line if I'm talking about something different. As you will see I'm trying not to hit (CR) as I type now. We see how that'll look like on a return post. How my messages appear to everyone is there something wrong, something I need to look into and fix? And how? Still haven't been able to fix my, My Yahoo homepage that won't completely load as it should in Wins 8.1. And I can't find their email to contact them. So darn frustrating!! Now for the biggy! Determining which email program to use, one that has full NG capability. NOT just a reader!! So disappointed to find out OEClassic NG is just that, a reader.

However, said TB is a resource hog like FF. And do I know that!! I know people who use TB & love it, never any problems. At least I was able to see what it looks like & how it function.

I did some checking saw some pictures of it, looks okay. Couldn't find much details though. If I were to go towards Opera Mail I would have to download their browser also right? Can someone please give me their opinion on that? On both if you don't mind. I need to make a decision soon for I am suppose to give my old pc to my grand daughter, she's about to hand me my head if I don't fairly soon. Another question if you don't mind. Lets say I chose one don't like it & want to try the other how difficult would it be to delete it? Is there a chance it could mess up my new computer if I do that?

I'm using Opera Mail myself and have gotten used to it since migrating from Thunderbird. It loads fast, uses a modest amount of resources and the filters work correctly (unlike Thunderbird). In fact, it gives you a larger amount of default filtering options than Thunderbird does which I believe is essential if you want to remove cross-posted articles from your favourite newsgroup. The only problem I found with it is a complete lack of plugins. This is necessary for me as I would love to have the option of using Enigmail + GnuPG to encrypt my email but it's not a must-have feature considering that absolutely no one I communicate with bothers to encrypt their communications. -- Silver Slimer GNU/Linux is Communism "However powerful and reliable Linux is, when it comes to user interaction (Such as the desktop) it's like having a washing machine with 100's of different wash cycles, the manual printed in Arabic and the sequence to set the thing going has to be entered manually in precisely the right order." - Desk Rabbit |

Hi Once more thank you for your help. Gene I see by what you mean about the carriage returns by my post on 1/18. As far as I can recall I didn't hit 'enter' to make those spaces for every sentence so I have no idea why it did. As far as I can tell, my remarks might be bogus :-) It seems that I've complained and others have complained about similar things before, but it seems to end up being software related, not user related. So I hereby apologize for starting a tempest in a teapot. My current thought (and I wish I had remembered it before remarking in the first place) is that various newsreaders deal with wordwrap in different ways, often inserting newlines (returns, whatever) to implement wordwrap, sometimes producing a display that's hard to read or, on a good day, just ugly. Then another newsreader with its own approach converts that to a display that's even harder to read. The above is my current understanding based on various comments in this subthread, on what I see in various posts, and some vague memories of mine. I'm probably wrong there too :-) So I'm going to slink back to my cave to ponder a few universal truths or something :-) -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Then with post dated 1/19 my paragraphs appear normal, to me anyway. I also have no idea how or why my messages appear as you all see them. I do at times hit (CR) to begin a new sentence on a new line if I'm talking about something different. My personal convention is to hit two CRs, so that there's a blank line between paragraphs. That makes it look like this, which I think is easier to read. Of course, a single return would make it look like this :-) Let's hope that the various newsreaders don't mess the above up too much :-) -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Now for the biggy! Determining which email program to use, one that has full NG capability. NOT just a reader!! As you can see, I'm on a roll :-) I decided separate replies were more appropriate... Newsreaders are rather personal, so advice that is often given here is to try several and see what you like. I like separate programs, because I haven't much liked the newsreader part of combined programs, including TB, which I use for e-mail. For a separate newsreader, I seem to alternate between MesNews (this one) and 40Tude Dialog. This is not an hourly or daily alternation: after a year or two I get tired on one and revert to the other. I must say that I'm not sure why the resource use of TB is a problem. Does it really affect what your computer is doing? -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
