Re: Removing attachments from incoming Mail message

2011-04-29 Thread Steven Knowles
Thanks James. However I don't need to save the attachment, and even if I did 
save the attachment, it does not delete that attachment from the message, which 
is what I want to do.

Yes, I can redirect, or re-send, or forward the message, and delete individual 
attachments, however this doesn't do what I want to do, ie. delete selected 
attachments from the message which is sitting in my inbox.

Cheers, Steven

 if you need to remove for keeping the attachement then, you can just click  
 hold the save button in the address field, then pull down to the selected 
 attachement
 if you forward then just prepare the letter  you should see the 
 attachements, place the cursor behind (after the selected one) then hit 
 delete, that should remove the attachement within the forwarded letter

 This is a long shot, I can't see any way of doing it but maybe there is.
 
 I'm using Apple's Mail 4.5 (on OSX 10.6.7).
 
 If an incoming message has attachments, those attachments can be removed 
 from the message by highlighting the message, then via menus Message  
 Remove Attachments.
 
 However, if there are multiple attachments to a message, and I want to 
 delete only one or some of the attachments, Mail doesn't appear to provide 
 this option. It's all or nothing.
 
 Other than redirecting / re-sending the message, and removing an attachment 
 that way, which is not ideal because it has side effects, does anybody know 
 of a way to delete selected attachments,  not all?
 
 Cheers, Steven

I Stopped iPhoto's Faces from constant scanning.

2011-04-29 Thread Paul K

Hello 'muggers

Faces has never worked for me.
It just span endlessly without result for a long, long time, through
pref resets, Library rebuilds and OS rebuilds.

I have never wanted the feature anyway and Apple does not want it to
be 'disablable'.

The only faces to ever appear on the 'board' were identified through
Facebook, annoying to say the least.

I have trawled the net to find a solution and none have worked or I
considered them too cavalier to apply.
Eventually I just tried to ignore it.
This never lasts for me.

So today another forum trawl but this time a new tip and it wasn't 'hacky'.

I went to Faeces, selected all the face thumbnails there and deleted them.
The scan ceased. It had *never* ceased before. Hoorah!
I restarted iPhoto because it still seemed too good to be true and lo,
two new faces appeared. The scan did not hang again though.
I nuked them anyway, restarted and all is still quiet.
Of course I had a current backup before attempting any of the above.

No need for me to have another calming chamomile tea, I can has coffee!

HTHS

Cheers
Paul
