Dear AccMailers: INTRODUCTION Usually I save ACCMAIL postings as text files. When I look for some information that is contained in one of that files I work with the built-in file-finder of my Win95 Explorer. This file-finder shows a field in which the string of one's interest must be typed. THE QUESTION Does anybody knows a text file-finder program able to search for two strings? Not just one. THE IDEAL PROGRAM Free, email-only available, very small and easy to use. Thanks.

I've tried to send the same requests to the italian www4mail server and the canadian one, and glad to see that they worked as well. since the www4mail servers react much faster than agora, I suggest we all make use of them. besides the "send" command, we also can use the "tsource" command here, it will return *.htm files. I know, some of us do prefer to read .htm files with a web browser (I am one of them). s. li 3-6-99 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Mar 1999 21:02:18 +0800 From: Maidong Hu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: how to get Hotmail account Hi,all, A Problem:how can I get my Hotmail account's letters by email?

It's error of page's author, most probably result of careless use of a carelessly written HTML editor. When the author checks the page on own HDD, it works. After uploading to web-server this link ceases to work. So "thank" sloppy authors: of editor and of page. > How do I open the file with the "max" > extension ? The author could use extension field as continuation of filename, i.e. "max" here may not mean exact format of file's content. It's especially probable if page's author uses DOS or Windows 3 (because of their 8+3 limit of filename's length). ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 Mar 1999 03:03:53 +0600 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ??FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics?? Hi I'm a email only user. I find the "FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics" very very useful. I get the statistics with the ACCMAIL posts as well as from subscribing to the performance report. Don't mind getting two of the same, helps if one gets lost or delayed, and it happens quite frequently(I'm sure the delays and deletes happens from this end at my ISP). I like to suggest that it have a SUBJECT line with the date of Statistic. Instead of " FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics" Something like . . . Mail2Web Statistics for Fri 5 Mar 1999, posted Sat 6 Mar, 06:00 GMT/BST Mail2Web Statistics posted Sat 6 Mar, 06:00 GMT/BST Statistics for Fri 5 Mar 1999 This would make it easier to identify the newest edition of a copy in a mailbox folder. Even if its filtered to a Mbox it would make sense. Must confess that I'm not sure if this is a easy thing to get the software to do this.

A good guess would be that the URL indicated is relative to the one you fetched with Getweb; try merging the two addresses if you haven't done so. (There may be a '..' hiding there somewhere) > > How do I open the file with the "max" >extension ? Mucking about with the links to/from the web page (if that's what you fetched) should give you a clue on what type of file it is. There were some discussions a while ago on this list about file name extensions and reference sources for the same - you could search the archives for them. To start you off with listserv commands, you could send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] <--(where ACCMAIL is hosted) Subject: HELP Body: Help which should guide you on how to proceed. A couple of other things you could try - Search the Altavista engine using a link:URL search to find pages which link to your resource. Troll a search engine for the strings "*.max" and "file extension". Email methods are in the FAQ. Or perhaps search for other references to the file in question. Or use the ftp search engine for other files with the same extension. The point I'm trying to make is, in most cases a little common sense and a bit of digging will go a long way. I have found quests of the sort you face more of an interesting challenge - better than any puzzle! In this way, if you are in the accmailing business for any length of time, you will eventually develop a set of templates for what looks a daunting task at first. Do get back to the list with the results from attacking your problem! -- Sriram N.
