Instead of trying to get emacs to work, maybe the right way to go about this is to try to learn how to script Outlook to do what I want. With the quick investigation I’ve done into the matter, it should be too hard to write a script that does something similar to mew/wl’s refile […]
xemacs related mailing lists seem to mostly be filled with spam. Feature-wise, it no longer has many advantages over emacs21. It still has a bit more guification, but that seems minor. Gnu emacs21 has all the X-y stuff (variable width fonts, embedded images in buffers, updated look) Every email post, webpage, or piece of writing […]
You know, I always end up creating a list of things I want to buy in the future. Then I end up losing them, and I forget about what I wanted. So in an effort to never make that happen again, I’m going to start writing them here. Apple 30-inch monitor A new digital piano. […]
So mew has special variable call mew-refile-guess-alist which lets you control how ‘refiling’ works.. i.e. how to guess the target folder of the ‘refile’ operation. Mew seems to, in general, offer a different way to read mail that comes from many lists… it works better if you have them all come to your inbox, read […]
Why is there never a perfect piece of software. Wanderlust almost all of what I want, but it has several annoying bugs/misfeatures: It’s single threaded, so if it get’s stuck during an imap sync, the whole damn thing get’s stuck, the whole emacs session is stuck It doesn’t have any way to tell you that […]
Well, according to PC web, the only step I was missing (after all the stuff in the two previoius posts) was to turn off the “Escape non-ASCII sequences” option the Emulation section of Terminal.app’s “Window Settings’ dialog. Terminal.app has this clever feature, where if you start inserting Japanese into the terminal, it displays the pre-edit […]
For some reason ubuntu had a really old version of wanderlust (2.10 series, which is more than two years old). I guess no one updated the debian repository until very recently, so when ubuntu 5.10 came out, it was already too late to get included. Thankfully, the ubuntu universe pool has a .deb for the […]
Nerd alert. You’ve been warned. So I’m back on emacs. I like emacs’ perforce integration better than I do vim’s. I’ve also set up “mew” to read my imap mail. It works reasonably well, but one annoying limitation is that it can’t view imap folders with spaces in them!? But I’ve gotten mew to work […]
So after unsuccessfully lobbying our IT department to turn off Public Folders when the Exchange server is accessed through IMAP, I took the plunge and installed Thunderbird 1.5 for OS X. It actually works pretty well (which means: it doesn’t peg the CPU when updating imap folders, LDAP lookups work, even with substring searches, and […]
