The time zone should be a numeric offset from GMT, so EDT is -0400, EST is -0500, and PDT is -0700.
Thanks Tom, I'll update that.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the heads up, Tom.

Are you ready to be strong?
I need to set up my Mac Mail so it'll send a message to anyone who writes to my Earthlink account telling them that account is about to be closed and directing them to my Mac account, but I can't figure out how to do this seemingly simple thing. Does anyone have a clue?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Azureus on the mac keeps telling me:
Distributed DB] If you have a router/firewall, please check that you have port 6681 UDP open. Decentralised tracking requires this.
Unfortunately, I haven't the faintest idea what to do about it.
FWiw, I use an Apple Extreme Card that talks to an SMC Barricade wifi router that I think is the "g" variant of whatever.
Even a clue where to start woudl be gratefully accepted.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Rio, you should be able to access the web version of your EarthLink mail account, and in Preferences use both the "Email Forwarding" and "Vacation Message" features.
Of course, I doubt either of those will features will survive the actual closing of your account, but it will alert anyone who sends to you between now and then.
Is that what you had in mind?

Are you ready to be strong?
Yes, thank you! I wonder why they restrict that feature to Web mail. I mean it seems like my Mac Mail program should be able to handle it, you know?

Now I'm being punished for copyediting. The "vacation message" worked just fine until I changed one word in it then resaved it. Now it's not going out anymore. Everything else about it is the same. Fuck. I knew my persnicketiness would bite me in the ass.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
There is an "Enable" check box at the top of the "Vacation Message" form. Did it get un-checked when you edited?
Rio - May 13, 2005 8:16:20 pm PDT #2897 of 10003
Are you ready to be strong?
No, it's still checked. I can't believe I fucked it up.
I changed the date so it runs out tomorrow, so I can make a whole new one the day after. Hopefully that'll work. Thanks for your help.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you're testing with the same other email, in some systems you only get an away message once, even if you email the person a bunch of times when they're gone.
