Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm picturing my equipment rebelling against all the damn porn and staging an uprising.

I'm picturing mine deciding to the bogart all the porn for itself.

It will take getting married to bump me to a TB.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Because it came up elsewhere, and the website for the software is gone...

I've located the GifBuilder version that opens in OSX and put it out on my .mac site.

is there a way to set thunderbird so it automatically filters messages as they arrive?

Yep. It's under Tools > Message Filters.

I recall it being pretty easy to set up, though perhaps not as easy as Eudora.

(Oh, and ita, I'm finding that the built-in spam catcher on T-bird works as well as Spamnix was working for me with Eudora.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, that's pretty sweet.

Okay, all you multi-computer people -- how do you manage mail? What I've been doing is keeping one machine that's on all the time with Eudora checking mail, deleting spam, but leaving non-spam from my mail account on the POP server until I get to it -- so I can read it from anywhere, and it's a pretty clean mailbox -- at least for the main account. Some of the ancillary ones are deleted from the server automagically.

It does feel odd to use the web client to read my mail when I'm only in the other room, but I suppose I'm addicted and my digital shoes are way too tight.

Israel Seizes 40,000 'Dangerous' Chinese DVD Players
Posted Apr 04, 2005 - 08:12 AM

Israel has confiscated 41,000 dvd players from China after tests found them “dangerous” due to excessive levels of radiation, which could even result in malfunction of pacemakers, a media report said.

"The increase in cheap imports from China has brought about a phenomenon whereby cheap and low-quality appliances are overflowing the israeli market," general director of standards institution of Israel, Ziva Patir was quoted by Ynetnews as saying.

Tens of thousands of substandard and dangerous DVD players are said to have flooded the country from China.

"Initially, the importer sent the standards institution of Israel a sample DVD player that withstood the tests," Yaakov Ventel, director of the standards institution of Israel’s industry department reportedly said.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have filters set up in thunderbird, but they don't run automatically. I always have to run the filters myself.

Am I doing something wrong?

This is a pop account.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Am I doing something wrong?

If you are, I'm doing the same thing. For me, Thunderbird runs the spam filter automatically, but the used defined filters are non-automatic. (Or is that just plain matic?)

Before I switched machines for mail checking, I'd do pretty much the same thing: leave Eudora running, keep real messages on the server for three days. If I ever find a better solution, I'll let you know.

Huh. Thunderbird runs all my filters automatically. I don't know what, if anything, I'm doing differently.
