Hi all. Today, I spent quite a bit of time at www.osxhints.com. I
found a couple of interesting tips I hadn't heard before. I don't
know if these have been on the list before or not, but here goes.
First, if you'd like mail to display html messages in plain text, you
can do it by typing this line in to terminal.
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
This doesn't work on every html message, but it does work on most of
them.
The other thing I found out about was a neat little program called
sogudi. This is an add on to Safari, and it allows you to do
searches from the location bar. For example, you could press command
l, then type goo mac os10 tiger, and it would search google for os10
tiger. Or you could type hint safari, and it would search
osxhints.com for safari hints. There are a bunch of other built-in
search shortcuts like, macupdate.com, version tracker, the wikipedia,
yahoo, etc. You can add other search engines, and you can add
shortcuts to sites you visit a lot. For example, I might set up a
shortcut to my podcast web site www.darcyandholly.com, and call it
dhs or something, and that's all I'd have to type in after hitting
command l. Sometimes this might be faster then going through the
bookmarks menu.
You can find sogudi at the following url.
