I GOT it, but I won't be able to make the meeting due to family obligations. :( I might be able to make January, though.

It made it to the group, but I thought it was one of those confidential emails that should only be read by the intended recipient, so I removed it from some people's mailboxes. -- Rich

REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, Nov 19th, 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Don't forget about the WLUG meeting! J.R. Mauro will be our guest speaker (he was at the last meeting, too, for those who might remember him). His talk will be on Source Code Management. Please refer to the WLUG website for a more detailed description of J.R.'s talk. As a side topic, either after J.R.'s talk, or over pizza, I'll entertain any discussion of why I shouldn't dump Kubuntu in favor of SuSE on my laptop. The Hardy and Intrepid versions of Kubuntu are backward steps in functionality compared to Gutsy (in my very limited experience). The SuSE live CD works just fine. Don't reply to the email...repeat, don't reply to the email...save the flame wars for Wednesday evening! :-) See ya there!

Re: [Wlug] Automatically deleting old email

It looks like you can do it in Icedove (Thunderbird). i've never tried it. Edit --> Folder Properties --> Retention Policy And then you can set it by number of messages or days or for messages that have been read.
