Please shout if you have any problems - it will say SPAM blocked (we don't want to tell spammers _why_ we block them but we do log the reasons).

[Hampshire] Mutt screen oddness
Hi, I've seen this strange behaviour has anyone else seen it and does anyone know how to fix it? 1) On a Debian Lenny system (stock install) in a Qemu VM session I SSH (via PuTTY) in and start screen. 2) The screen session starts one Bash shell and one Mutt session. 3) The mutt display and the bash session don't page properly, altering the window size by just one column or line fixes the problem. 4) Going back to the original size is okay. My guess is that something in the terminal is off and changing the window size fixes it. Any suggestions? All the applications are default Debian Lenny, and I'm running the Bash shell. I can't test it from work but I think a plain Qemu session causes the same display problem, but you can't resize a (virtual) real console. -- Adam Trickett Overton, HANTS, UK A man is known by the books he reads. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] Evolution / Exchange - Missing messages
Hi all, I am trying to use Evolution to get my mail from an Exchange server. For a while all looked to be OK but this morning I noticed some mails had vanished from my inbox. Looking via webmail and Outlook I can see the messages are still on the server. I have tried a re-sync, tried deleting the account and recreating it, and a couple of other things but nothing seems to bring these messages back. Since the webmail interface is so slow and using Outlook means running WinXP under VMware wasting lots of resources I would really like to have Evolution work reliably. Anyone seen this kind of thing before and know how to fix it and prevent it happening again? I have thought of using other mail clients but I have to be able to manage my diary too. Thanks Rich I was in this situation lately. Is the POP3 interface running? The solution was to fetchmail it via POP to my home server then host it from there via DIMAP.

No apology required, I'd say ... have seen a few like this before but this is a goody! Agreed. My first thought was that I had seen it before, but this was definitely the great-granddaddy of that previous one, which was pretty impressive at the time! Reckon they did it one take?

Reckon they did it one take? (after testing all of the individual components) Nope. There's at least one splice in there (probably two). Still pretty impressive though - if ultimately rather pointless...
