    Marian et Nicolai,

    I have become increasingly disatisfied with Eudora (interface and non-multi personailities).

    I have been thinking of reverting back to Outlook Express. I was told by a friend that if I remove the preview pane then I should be okay. Can either of you confirm this?

    Sorry to keep raising this issue but I've come to the conclusion that seeking the right client is as arduous a task as finding the right fragrance.

    Regards,
    Rochelle

    No idea. I know that the "danger" of Outlook isn't it's only disadvantage; it also creates mails that are hard to read for other people, since it can't handle line breaks, quotes and signatures correctly.

    As for your problems with Eudora: It IS possible to use different identities, though I've read that this isn't too comfortable (I've never used the feature myself). Regarding the interface, I'm happy with it. It's not perfect, but at least it's not such a lot of irrelevant design as in Outlook. It could be prettier, of course, and some functions cannot be found where you'd expect them. Perhaps I should take a look at Pegasus myself.

    Anyway, for me, no preview pane would be a serious lack of functionality. I hardly open mails to read them, it's much more comfortable just browsing through them and reading them in the preview pane.

    I'm not sure 100% myself, since I don't use Outlook and there are several different versions of Outlook Express out there. If you really want to continue to use Outlook Express, and you want to be more or less on the safe side, I recommend to take a look at this site:
    http://www.resnet.bristol.ac.uk/kb/articles/q38.html

    It might answer your questions and you might be more or less safe that way. (Though I am told this might make browsing uncomfortable if you're using IE.)

    PS: Pegasus if very comfortable if you need to set up multiple users. It has a very easy to use standard Windows GUI and it's no problem at all to set up multiple users.

    Is there an easy way for me to save my HTML files on disc?

    At the moment, I'm copying at pasting each file as a word document and then transferring to CD-R. This is very tedious and time consuming. Do more economical alternatives exist?

    I thank you both for your guidance and tips

    Regards,
    Rochelle

    Hi cine-sin -

    You should be able to skip MSWord altogether and simply write the files to disk. You'll want to make sure that the link structure is preserved.

    If the files aren't linked to anything, you can just put them in their own directory and write the directory over.

    Hi Kyle,

    Thanks for the tip. Clicking on each HTM file - I 'saved target as'.

    While this works - it actully saved each page as you would see it on the internet.

    I was hoping for an easier way in which each file's scripting could be saved.

    While I've already copy and pasted each file's scripting a month ago - I have the basic structure.

    But I'd prefer to consistently update each file's scripting onto disc because I occasionally modify the scripts themselves.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks again for extending your knowledge.

    Regards,
    Rochelle
    p.s I'm not sure if I've been eloquent here.

    I don't really understand. Where do those HTML files come from?

    They're from my website. I just go into the File Manager each file has its own template HTML and personalised stuff as well.

    I should have pointed out that I want constant back-ups of my files should anything happen to the host.

    What is the hyperlink to your website and what kind of things did you put on it? I have been thinking about trying to create my own and would like to see your ideas. Don't worry, I promise I won't copy anything, I'm just looking for inspiration.

    Oh, I see. There are tools that allow you to grab a whole website onto your harddisk, but I have no experience with those.

    The generally better way is to create the HTML pages locally on your harddisk, with tools like Dreamweaver, and then upload them to the webserver. That way, you already have them on your disk when you're creating them.

    Marian - I used to create HTML on harddisk but founded it quicker to do on the spot.
    I think I'll revert back to how I doing it.
    Thanks.

    Just wanted to say thank you! I took a quick look, and now I'm going to go back and play awhile there!
