Re: I HATE G*%$##! Stupid Email

Far be it that I recommend gmail, because they are evil, and Evil as 
well, but once set up properly they do work the way they're supposed 
to.  If I were you I'd just set up a gmail account to use with the PDML 
and be done with it.  There's noting you'll be likely to say here that 
the world won't find out about eventually anyway.

I already can't send messages to PDML using Earthlink because they 
don't block their users from sending SPAM & PDML's SPAM filter keeps 
consigning Earthlink to a black hole.


Yahoo is EFFED up and Time-Warner (Spectrum) road-runner email servers 
go down and stay down for months at a time.


I can currently read messages on yahoo and send using road-runner, but 
if you don't ever hear from me again, you'll know why ... *IF* this 
message gets through.

It looks like a very sharp lens, but then it better be at the price and 
bulk.

Re: Sharper lenses

If it weren't for tweaking systems, and breaking specified behavior at 
the same time, some members of development teams would have no purpose 
at all.   BTW, I haven't tried putting the regular reply button back on 
Thunderbird since they broke it's behavior, is it still broken?  Not 
important, the smart button works almost correctly, but I was kind of 
wondering...

It should clear up in a day or so.

site, but they claim to protect against scams. Your issue might still 
be a criminal scam of some sort, hidden behind a legal scam...


Don't give them any personal information, in any case. You don't need 
their permission to send emails to PDML, unless Doug has taken a 
dislike to you. Might be worth emailing Doug separately in case he 
isn't breathlessly hanging on our every word, and can somehow do 
something about this.

FWIW, I'm having no issues with my E-link account re PDMLPENTAX.

Re: Still No Joy on the email front.

2019-07-09 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
I've seen your messages, John.

Perhaps you should try a different approach: Get your own domain name and email 
service from an independent provider. 

I use Hover.com for several domain name and email services, apart from my 
general use accounts with Apple (icloud.com, me.com, mac.com accounts). It's 
not expensive … about $15-20 per year for the domain and a small tithe for the 
email service. Then you don't have to be subject to the Earthlink or Yahoo, or 
other large corporate-driven, server configurations.

Getting angry doesn't help on this stuff. Keep your cool and find a better 
solution… It's not that difficult. :)
