Cap? You still conscious? Don't blow a gasket there, old chap. I'm sure we can all learn to live together in peace and harmony, just like folks with different religious beliefs do. ::angel::

I didn't want to needlessly antagonise you. Oops. ::ha:: Good catch – after a fashion. In truth I should have capitalised 'bunch' as well, seeing as it was the title (but not 'of', of course). :rolleyes:

What!? *splutter* Parentheses at dawn, sir! You can take away my livelihood, sell my family into slavery, but I will never, never accept that the Oxford Comma should be universally proscribed. While such a comma would be extraneous, egregious even, in simple constructions such as "ham...

To my eternal chagrin, CaptainQuark, I was entirely unaware of the term 'Oxford Comma' until I read your reply to my post. Fortunately, this is 2005, I am online, and there is Google. Within seconds, I had access to 54,988,046,221 potential sources of information with which to rectify my...

Did you notice the misused apostrophe in the title? Of course you did! Unless you are the person who penned the recent 'New Year Update!' mailout to MACOSX.COM members, in which case you might well have missed it. Sorry to be a pedant, but the phrase "Lot's of great people, all fanatical...

FWIW, all my spam problems have been solved by SpamSieve (a shareware spam-catcher that works with most OS X email clients). It even catches those pesky blank messages that were giving me trouble in Mail. In fact, I've ditched Mail in favour of Entourage vX - which I had previously ditched in...

Lucky you. I get over 100 spams a day. The problem is my simple email addresses - with just three letters before the @ (eg, abc@isp.com), I'm a sitting duck for the spammers' automatic address generators. If I changed these to something more complex, like suppurating.genitalwart@isp.com, I'm...

I've started getting spam that seems to have blank subject, sender and recipient fields. My copy of Mail does not recognise these as junk, and marking them as junk usually causes Mail to crash, both in training and automatic modes. When this happens, it sometimes also wrecks Mail's ability to...

Strange to say, those inaccessible accounts seem to be finding their feet in Mail, now. One possible cause of the problem might have been my switching to and fro between Mail and Entourage. With both set to store my passwords on the keychain, I think they were having some sort of spat, with each...

Thanks for the feedback, Lyra. No help though, I'm afraid. I've checked and re-checked the settings in mail, and they're identical to those in Entourage. Except that they don't work. Although one rogue message apparently got through for one of the affected accounts today, which just muddies the...

Please can somebody tell me how to do this! I'm trying to migrate the bulk of my email handling from Entourage to Mail (no comments please). I have a an account with UK provider NTL which allows me multiple addresses with the format 'here@ntlworld.com', 'there@ntlworld.com'...

In a recent post to Apple's iMovie discussion boards, I noted that many contributors there were using iMovie in a commercial context, and that Apple might be a little miffed that its free home movie software was taking potential sales away from Final Cut Express. I added that only a cynic would...

Starting with iMovie in 'Organize' mode, an image selected, and the 'Title' field active, if I press the Tab key once the focus moves to the 'Date' field. On the next press, focus moves to the image display area, and the time the photo was taken, displayed in the Date field, changes! That's...

I've tried to open 4 iMovie projects since I installed iMovie 3.0.1, and in each case it's stalled on reversed clips and sections where the sound had been separated from the video. I've had to force quit it about a dozen times after getting the spinning beachball of death, and overall, it seems...

When I looked at the writing on the TextEdit icon late last night, I was certain that there was something in there about how to get a free dot-mac account for life, but when I looked again this morning it had gone. Even opening up the TextEdit package and looking directly at the Edit.icns icon...

Adding to brianleahy's comment - AppleScript is indeed an easy way to run shell scripts, and you don't even need to save them as applications. Inside the Applications>AppleScript folder you'll find a little doohickey called ScriptMenu.menu which provides a dropdown menu in the system menu bar...

Hey, herbg. I recently installed a SmartDrive USB 2 PCI card in my G4 Quicksilver running OSX 10.2.3. To work, it requires a recent version of the 'OMI_EHCI.kext' extension to be installed in System>Library>Extensions. The most recent version available from SmartDrive (1.6) only gave me USB 1...
