Re: Find 3: The Reckoning
Thanks Gerardo
But that doesn't work - I disabled the preview pane long ago - so I didn't
get the sound until I actually openned the message.
The thing that surprised me was that there was no indication from the body
of the message that there was even a sound there. I had to go into the
message source before I could see it. Until then it hadn't really dawned on
me that OE was actually playing html when I opened a message. Though, in
hindsight, that should have been obvious. I mean, how else would the nice
blue links I like so much work?
In this case it was no problem at all, and I actually enjoyed Thomas' sound
more and more as I thought about it. The guillotene sound was a perfect
wake-up call, and the timing was perfect, and I don't think Thomas is trying
to do any harm and I enjoy his continual efforts to express himself. I
thought that Jiri was way too grouchy earlier - but that's Jiri too.
So now, I clearly understand that OE5 can carry huge amounts of data without
it actually showing up in the message at all. I used to use Pegasus, and I
may go back to it, but I switched because I didn't like it's interface very
much.
Bye
Martin
