Let me also add that HTML takes up 4 times the bandwidth of the same
amount of plain text.
URL's I don't have a problem with because they take up less space than
copy/paste the whole text. I don't surf while I'm reading my email. I
write them down and type them into my browser window later, after I
close all other applications. That way I don't lose data when the
computer totally freezes up, like it does for some web sites. Best bet
is still a good virus detection program, like Norton
http://www.norton.com or McAfee http://www.mcafee.com installed on your
machine. I have McAfee's VShield configured to run constantly,
beginning at startup. On Windows systems, click Start, Programs, McAfee
Virus Scan, VShield Configuration Manager. You'll know it's running
when the red, white and blue shield-shaped icon appears on your taskbar
next to the clock. And if you must download an attachment from an
email, save it to a floppy, run your virus detection program over the
floppy, THEN open the file. You can't be THE ONE who blows the whole
conspiracy shebang out of the water, becoming the world's hero/heroine,
if your computer is down with a virus.

Re: [CTRL] More on HTML and URLs was Re: [CTRL] PLEASE POST IN TEXT

2000-04-19 Thread ThePiedPiper

I do not know about your program
but in mine all that is sent is the url
It just allows you mail program to go to that
url.  Bandwidth is less, not more.
The reason that your browser can
have a problem is because you are not
connected to the internet so that your
e-mail program access the web page.

If you can tell me of a browser (easily)
do what you seem to want to require and
are willing to buy it for me - are you
attempting to get some of us to buy some kind
of easy cut and paste browser?  Or just trying to
cut down on the amount of research that this list
is currently capable of doing
