I used to use Outlook Express for composing emails for the LyX user group. I got some complaints about the formatting of messages. I switched to Thunderbird which goes with Firefox and it worked well except for one problem. When I read news next, the Subject: would get opened fully expanded for the thread which had most recently received a post. The topics getting the highest volume are often flamewars or philosophical rambling that everybody feels like they are an expert and have something worthwhile to say. It can take the scrolling through several screens to get back to the Collapse all check-box. The solution is to use "\" without the quotes, it automatically collapses all threads. It really saves the mouse hand. * expands all It took me a few hours to discover this.
Also be careful of the formatting if you cut and paste: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/ Those urls are useful for doing searches on error messages. Since I'm at it the Marc nearly identical lists are: http://marc.10east.com/?l=lyx-users&r=1&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel http://www.lyx.org/ with a lot of navigational links The LyX bug tracker: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/ Homepage of the LyX wiki-wiki also searchable http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyX Regards, Stephen
