I like Thunderbird too, especially the way mutliple E-mail accounts are handled in it.

Has Thunderbird improved its handling of how messages are kept or removed on the server? I like the way Eudora allows one to keep/remove messages individually. Last time I checked, Thunderbird couldn't do that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone here familiar with The Gimp?

I don't think it does, but I just always remove messages from the server so I don't know for sure.

Hey. New board.

A bit, Tommy. How much familiarity are you looking for?

If I can't help, Grokking the Gimp probably can.

Thanks for the link. I use the Gimp for very basic stuff, but I wouldn't claim to know anything about doing real work in it.

I need to make an image wider. But not scale it. Basicaly I need to cut it in half and stick stuff in between the two pieces to make it wider.

So I increased the canvas size (Made it wider). Then I copied a section on the right and pasted it on top of the original. Now I try to move the copied section onto the new (expanded) canvas aread but it doesn't show up there.

When I increased the canvas area, did I actually increase the size of the image? If not, how do I do that? If so, why can't I move a selection onto the new canvas?

Hey. New board.

Probably because the layer your original image is on isn't the size of the full image. Play around in your layer dialog - you may need to make a new background layer and copy the image to it, or maybe just uncheck the "keep transparent" box.

Yeah, I just started messing around with layers. It's the "layer boundry size" that I needed to change. Thanks!
