1. bae 64 encoding
Letter to all...
could we please switch back to the normal uue encoding?
Most of us, can't use the base 64.
Plus base 64 really dosn't add THAT much more compression....
I'm on a terminal, I don't have access to the base 64 decoding program.
just the normal uue
thanks!~

really? I'm using PINE on a unix shell account and it works fine. PINE
is on just about ALL unix shells.

use pine, its way better. Actually I changed to pine when elm started
screwing up my e-mails. When I replied to a message, it would send an
empty message. Pine is pretty easy to learn and has lots of cool
features, including base 64 attachments.

There is a Pine port to the PC. However it depends on what you have for
a mail server. I have a POP3 and use EudoraPro which will decode the
files, but Pine intended for IMAP servers. People who use Dial-Up and
have IMAP will just have to suffer.

Weird. I figured everyone called a service provider through a terminal
program on their pc. I use commo, which is about as dumb terminal program
as you get (it works though, and is 100 times faster to get to my email
through the unix shell account than starting windoze\winsock\netscape) log
into my shell account and run pine from unix. Everyone who has a
unix(or linux) shell account should have access to pine.
I use tin to read the newsgroups.

You're right, of course - using the Unix shell is much faster. I use
Telix for that. But I've gotten hooked on Agent 99's features -
sorting, folders, filters, etc. For instance my filters for
alt.best.of.internet remove about 70-80% of the posts. It really
helps not to have to look at so much junk. I know, tin has killfiles
- Agent's are just easier to use.
I handle the speed problem by using Sean's Scheduler to pick up news
and email at 4am. I surf the web with images turned off, and still
have time to read my downloaded newsgroups and email during the World
Wide Wait.
(Ob Euphoria Reference) Speaking of speed, perhaps future Euphoria
versions could benefit from the concept of the jiffy. In physics, a
jiffy is sometimes defined as the time it takes light to travel one
meter. In programming, it can be 1/100th or 1/60th of a second,
depending on the language. Jiffies are much more appropriate to
computer speeds than seconds.

Warren

In animation and video a "jiffy" is 1/60 of a second (one field of NTSC
video)
