Herald 1.1 - New OS X Mail Announcements, Slick and Functional

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:38:26 +0000

"The Batavians plunged through where the current was strongest," Tacitus recounts a Germanic tribe's reaction to the naval attack launched by Germanicus in the year 16. The Batavians acted "under their leader Chariovalda," who would later play a heroic role in the battle.
Now, doesn't that name, "Chariovalda", sound a bit like "heriwald"? Doesn't "heriwald" seem similar to "heraut"? Does not "heraut", to an astonishing degree, resemble "herald"?
So, "herald" could have something to do with the made-up name "heriwald" (which means army-commander), and Tacitus indicates some such name may have existed.
In any event, Herald does exist, and it does have something to do with Mac OS X Mail:
›› Herald adds pretty and functional new mail announcements to Mac OS X Mail that let you read, delete, reply and mark as spam. (Mac)

Waving Pilgrims Thanksgiving - Free IncrediMail Letter Download and E-Card

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:36:35 +0000

"Thou" makes you think of what? Pomp and reverence?
For quite a while during the Middle Ages, "thou" addressed friends and family, though, in a friendly manner -- or children, of course.
Just before "thou" will have fallen out of favor (around 1650), let's greet Thanksgiving, in a friendly manner, with these kind blue-clad pilgrim children: Hail thou, fellow Thanksgiving, well met!
�� Lovely animated Pilgrims waving hello to Thanksgiving. (IncrediMail)

How to Import Mail and Account Settings from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail

Shedd�d ruled the world and read old books.
He read of lush trees and fancy pavilions; luscious fruit and expansive palaces. Taken by these descriptions of paradise, Shedd�d, son of A'd, decided to build one on earth, in the desert.
To that effect, he summoned some of his subjects: "a hundred thousand Kings, under each of whom were a hundred thousand valiant chieftains, and under each of these were a hundred thousand soldiers."
With this quadrillion, one billion and 100,000 men, Shedd�d built his paradise in the sand, a city called Irem, which he never would reach.
Now, if you have about a quadrillion, one billion and 100,000 emails in Outlook Express, they can reach not Irem and no paradise — but Windows Live Mail:

How to Turn On or Off Address Auto-Completion in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:04:17 +0000

Do you have 2 eyes? At your head's front? Why?
Eyes looking to the side afford much wider a range of sight. Two eyes on the front looking forward let you look around small things, though, and around thin vertical things — things like leaves and branches. That's one theory, at least.
Now, have you been looking around some thin horizontal things for, well, too long? Things like all the names and addresses in your Windows Mail's auto-complete list?
›› Ever sent an email to the wrong address by accepting what Windows Mail or Outlook Express suggested when you started typing? Here's how to disable (or, if you want convenience back, enable) email address auto-completion in Windows Mail and Outlook Express.

How to Set Up an "All Mail" Folder in Outlook

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:19:08 +0000

Fortunately, Chongqing occupies China's center and not, say, Austria's: the municipality at the junction of Jialing and Yangtze would leave a measly 1,467 km� (566 square miles) for Vienna and the rest.
Fortunately, Outlook search folders can grow to just match the messages in them — and be they all the mail you have:

Buckles came into fashion around 1660 in England.

How to Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients in Mozilla Thunderbird

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:56:02 +0000

You will have to leave your nice Malaysian hotel room immediately and pay for an extra week if you take with you under your arm to your room a durian.
You have to pay because hotels really don't like cleaning up after a durian. You will leave the room immediately yourself, of course, thanks to the king of fruits's odor — typically described akin to fish rotting away in a giant white, wet old tennis sock in the middle of a city dump on a hot summer day at about 4:15 p.m.
Many people, I'm sure, feel about long lists of private email addresses exposed in To: and Cc: fields like hotel staff and guests think about the durian smell from 871. So, let's leave the durian under our arms and in our mouths at the market, and email addresses undisclosed in Mozilla Thunderbird:

A tree, by another name, is a wireless telegraph transmitter.
Eucalyptus, pine and spruce all worked well when Major George Owen Squier (who would later invent muzak) around 1905 replaced masts and antennae with stems and branches to send and receive the electromagnetic waves used in wireless networking.
Whatever antenna (or cable) you use, your Gawab.com email can telegraph right to your email program with verve � and maybe some eucalyptus or mimosa flavor picked up along the way:
