For several separate reasons, I have decided to publish my contact xxyxxxx information here. (The x's are just to con robots.) I imagine that publishing it thusly will be obvious to all of you, and still unavailable to trivial robots, so here goes:

me: Georg Wrede                 // name, or my average signature...
write: georg.wrede
after the funny a,
[possibly several parts here]
part 1: iki
part 0: fi

Can't figure it out? Too bad. Then you're either a robot, or not worthy of reading this NG in the first place.  <smiley of condescending distaste and aggression>

---

I challenge you to reply to this with yours.

For all of us, saving these would be appropriate, right.

---

Ah, and thinking a bit more on this, let's agree on that whenever we unexpectedly mail each other we'll put the magic letters 'DMD' at the beginning of the Subject!

"DMD Wow, I loved your last post about arrays of references to indirect addresses of AAs sorted by bovine dung!"

This way the post will pass my junk-mail filter, "and that's not all!" It'll get priority treatment when visually browsing through the new headers.

DMD here stands for Digital Mars D language, not for the DMD compiler as opposed to GDC or whatever. (Do I really have to spell this out?)

---

At first I had a reasonable heading to this post, but then I got the idea that we'll need to do this every 6 to 12 months anyway, so a stupid but unforgettable heading would be apropriate, so, the first guy after the "6 months" ought to create a new thread with the same heading. (And even forgetting this particular header, simply searching for single-word all-caps headers gets you a long way.)

I'm on GMail so spam is not an issue for me. Spam bots, I challenge
you: anders1@gmail.com.

Hmmm... Is the GMail spam filter that good? If so, awesome. I'd never heard of that prior to this.

BTW - Can I use GMail with my favorite 'fat' email client?

Thanks,

Yes, you can use POP3/SMTP. I used to do so, but I really like the web
interface :-)

Indeed, it's much better. The "conversation" features is simply the next paradigm. I wonder why it's taking so long for offline clients to pick that up. I'm hopping that Thunderbird 2 will have it. (haven't yet checked if that's the case)

Conversion features? Not sure what you are talking about :/

What I like about Gmail is that it's a lot like the rest of Google -
you search through your mail. I love labels, and the search feature is
great.

Thanks - the reason for not using the web interface is because I like everything in one 'instance'. I have 4 email addresses for various things right now, a bunch of newsgroups, plus I need a calendar application and some sort of unified contact manager. Otherwise I end up have a bunch of browser tabs open, all using a different web client, and a newsreader, and a calendar application, and a separate address book, etc.

BTW - Anyone know how well Outlook 2007 handles newsgroups? The Outlook 2000 (which I have) doesn't do newsgroups intrinsically (I know, it's MS but I can justify the cost in about 1 week of normal usage - pretty good ROI).

Thanks,

- Dave

In my experience it does a better job then other programs.  But some spam messages still get though.  It also sometimes spamifies messages that are legit.  Particularly if you write something like "Hay Jim, we haven't spoken for a while.  What have u been up to?".

Like its predecessors, Outlook 2007 has no support for newsgroups :). When I have to use Outlook, I add newsgroup support with http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/nntp/, but it dosent have anything like the polish of a true newsgroup reader, unfortunately...

Max

Gmail can actually be set up to receive mail from POP3 servers, which
is pretty useful :)
