In Digest V2005 #94, the person identified as Douglas McAdam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hunted and pecked out the following:
>I haven't been taking part in these discussions because at the moment >my Emailer is on hold in an External HD while I use my granddaughters >G4 and she would rather have Mail. So Mail has been fine so far but I >do miss my Emailer and hope, as soon as I can get funding, I can get my >own G5, Tiger, et al and then get back to Emailer. If Classic is available, why not set up [EMAIL PROTECTED] for your use and let her continue with Mail? I have Mail (I think) and Thunderbird available on this G4, but use [EMAIL PROTECTED] by choice. >Mail isn't too bad but I really prefer Emailer except I wish someone could >fix the font problem. It is too small for my aging eyes. I also think the >Search routine is slow compared to Mail. Can't comment on Search, but for aging eyes (I'll be 72 in November) you can choose from the fonts available up to 14 point. I just checked under [EMAIL PROTECTED] help and was referred to Setup->Preferences->Font and Color. In the resulting window under "Message Text" there are pull-down menus for Font and Size. (The font names appear in Geneva, but I see names for OS 9 and X fonts there and they =work=!) Of course I'm looking at a 17" NEC flat-screen CRT monitor, which is nice and sharp... >Is it nostalgia or is there really that big a difference between Emailer and >others like Mail, Entourage, etc.? There's a BIG difference to me. All the others I've tried fill up the screen with a buncha stuff I don't want to see, and -- to me -- aren't nearly as easy to use as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not sure I =ever= really figured out how to compose several messages in Mail or Thunderbird to be sent all at one time rather than immediately after completion. That should be chrystal clear, IMHO. (Of course I got started using CompuServe -- metered and charged by the minutes used -- and Freddie for reading/responding to batched posts, so I still prefer to compose offline and then upload batches...) -- Selah! BWms -= Politicians and diapers need to be changed periodically... both for the same reason. =- ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
