Subject: OT: Outlook 2000 woes & this list
From: "Jules Richardson" <julesrichardsonuk at yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 14:54:33 +0100
To: "xx_classiccmp" <cctalk at classiccmp.org>
OK OK pretty OT even for me, but I figure some of you others must have
wrestled with this abortion of a MUA and this list so have overcome the same
problem I have right now...
(I'm currently over in sunny MN on the laptop, otherwise I'd be snug at home
with a decent OS and mail client :)
All classiccmp messages appear in the message list with the correct sender
name (or sender email address if the author's MUA didn't send a
'friendly'
name along with the address). That much is fine. However in Outlook's
preview pane the From: address always appears as
'cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org' rather than the sender (no other MUA I've
ever used with this list has ever done that!)
If I double-click on a list message to open in its own window, then I get
something different yet again - in the From: field something like:
"cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org; on behalf of; Jules Richardson
[julesrichardsonuk at yahoo.co.uk]"
Real simple go into your address book and find the "cctalk-bounces at
classiccmp.org"
entry and delete it. Somehow you associated that with a CCTALK.
Solution two: install Thunderbird, works better, more virus resistant and NOT
from mickyspooge.
Solution three: Popcorn, A really minimal text only emailer that is very tiny
and fast (even on a P90!). Very handy for reading headers then deleting
those not wanted off the server without downloading the content.
I use solution Two and Three. On my NT4 box I have fully removed
Outlookexpress(OE) and InternetExplorer (use Firefox and OFFBYone instead).
A side effect was no more Blue Screens of death while reading the mail.

If I'd had more setup time before I left the UK
the laptop wouldn't be
running Windows even :)
Thunderbird time I suppose...
Well, Thunderbird isn't bad, but way to much of an Outlook
rip off. Including lots of unnecersary or disturbing things.
And most of all, the bird is quite fat. you'll need some 50+
MB on your drive just for installation and quite some RAM to
run it. Not what I'd recommend for a laptop - Except you'll
you'll have the dough for the latest hardware gadget.

So far so good... I managed to free up a few hundred MB of space just
by deleting all the junk that various Windows Update / service pack
installs etc. had left behind, so I now have Thunderbird installed plus
more disk space free than I started with :-)
Early days yet (lots of config to do and rules to set up etc.) - but at
least it's handling email headers properly, which LookOut! seemed
totally incapable of doing :)
thanks all,
Jules

For a PC email reader, I would strongly suggest Eudora. It's not that
big, and it's pretty efficient. It has filter settings so you can sort
your CCTALK mail automatically into it's own folder.
It's by no means as good as Sylpheed, the mail client I use for this
list. Sylpheed has the powerful ability to view messages in threads.
Which makes for a MUCH nicer list-reading experience. But Sylpheed is
freenix only, I run it on a NetBSD system. And it's X11 so you can't
run it in a terminal shell.
