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!

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?

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.

Ohhhhh. That must be it. If anyone knows my first name, can you please send an email to (my first name) @earthlink.net and tell me if you get the message? Thanks.

Yep, I got it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Can anyone tell me a possible reason why my computer spontaneously shuts itself off and restarts? It's happened three times in the last thirty minutes. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I'm doing when it happens. Norton says it doesn't have a virus. It's a Pentium 4 PC running Windows XP, and I've only had it two months. This is very frustrating.
