I just found the "Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes" statement to be amusing

I just bounced all my andrew emails to myself.... now I have like 1000 msgs. Apparently my andrew account was shut off on the 15th, but I can still access everything. and delete my hundreds of emails of spam.

Is there a way to create more folders to subdivide them? I've just archived all the bounced messages so I dont have to see them.

Why bother to create more folders?

Hmm... I really should archive my andrew mail too.

Is there a way to bounce e-mails in pine?

So far I've been able to fwd messages as one HUGE e-mail, or as a mime digest. I'd prefer separate e-mails though. I'd hate to have to reinstall mulberry...

Also, gmail has a nifty feature known as labels. I made an "andrew" label and applied it to few mime digests I sent.

The good thing about labels is that an e-mail conversation can have more than one. This is similar to having an e-mail exist in multiple folders without silly symbolic links or duplication.

yea, you need to enable boucing in your settings in pine, then select all, apply, bounce, your email, send

i'd hate to see what jon's c:\ looks like :p

"enable-bounce-cmd"

Does that sound right?

Nevermind, figured it out. Also, it only sent part of them since some e-mails (undisclosed by the system) failed a virus check.

Joy...

Or you could've actually paid attention...

Wow, you're late to the party...

Heh. You do realize I used labels before that right?

Just tried to provide a constructive response to the folder issue.

Sorry, too busy making fun of you to realize I should've targetted Dave for that one

Feeling a tad bit vindictive there, are you not?

quantus · Post by **quantus** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 1:44 am

actually, more to the contrary, I'm just messing around, having fun and not being all that serious since I get a temporary break from having a deadline looming over my head.
