Re: [newbie] Netscape address book
Digital Wokan wrote: I realize this isn't a Mandrake only question, but under Windows in Netscape, I can type a partial name and Netscape completes it from my address book. Having added several names with nicknames to Linux/Netscape's address book, I have yet to see it successfully recognize any of those entries as I compose a message. (Ex: I put newbie in as a nick to Mandrake Newbies, but NC kept insisting that there was no match and wanted to put [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anyone got a suggestion? Thats funny, it works fine here under Linux. It completes every entry that already exists in my address book. One thing you might note is that I didn't add names with nicknames, I just put the names in my address book. -- /\ DarkLord \/

Right-clicking on the address will popup a menu that includes "Add to
Addressbook". Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, I've tried right clicking many times without success. I get 2 choices.
Sender to address book or all to address book. In either case I get only the
email address of the SENDER of the letter, not the addresses WITHIN the letter.
But I'm pretty sure it worked before in root with Netscape 4.6, rather than
4.61. But I can't be sure of that. And I may have stumbled upon some other
method.
Hmmm... can't say I've ever used that functionality, so I'm not sure if
there have been changes between 4.6 and 4.61.
Thanks for your prompt help on my problems. It's appreciated. Do you do this 24
hours a day, seven days a week? I sent in the problems, went to bed, and lo and
behold, the answers were there in the morning! And it's a weekend.
Some of us live, drink, and breath this stuff! Besides, if I weren't
answering mail, I'd have to do something "fun" with the wife ("fun" to
her is the mall or a walk, neither one strikes my geek fancy), so we're
all better off if I'm answering mail... :)

Re: [newbie] Netscape address book
A couple of things you might try. As root, save your E-mail addresses in a file. Then copy them to your "/home/user/.netscape" file. Then do a "chown" to change the owner to "user" and possibly do a "chmod +rw" to make sure anyone can read the file. Hope this helps.

But now, in my non-root access, I can't find any way to get them to jump to the address book from a similar letter. I don't know if I'm missing something or the new Netscape 4.61 I downloaded has a problem with this. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
