I just realized it wasn't everyone at all. It was Keith every time the subject was mentioned. ;) Keith, what mailer are you using? Maybe the folks on this list can help you configure it correctly. -Chuck

OT: MIME

Okay, flame war time, but this is really starting to bug me. What's everyone's freekin problem with MIME formatted messages? The poster's message is NOT in HTML format (referring to a previous post on the matter). It's in multipart/alternative. That means your mailer is free to choose what alternative encoding to display. I have mutt configured to show me text/html version (piped thru lynx, of course), but I could just as easily have it show me the text/plain one instead. The way I see it, giving the reader the option of what version to display is the best compromise, as compared to either A) not offering multimedia in email at all, or B) berating the sender of a message for not using a format you agree with. Using a retarded mailer that doesn't know to interpret multipart/alternative is no excuse. And jumping right to option B is just childish. -Chuck

The detail about |sendmail| is in the 1021 page book called "sendmail" by Bryan Costales, published by O'Reilly. I got my copy from the Tatnuck bookstore on Chandler Street, I don't know if they are still in stock. The Border's on Rt.9 in Shrewsbury is also a good place to look. > I mean, the documentations on their site both are meaningless for me.

I have not seen much true spam on the list, but a couple of people have been posting in HTML. If your spam filter is set up to trash that, you may be throwing away some non-spam (but so far nothing that you really need to know---just questions about how to get a Windows machine working on the net and such). Spam in general is out of control and only getting worse, but I thought everybody knew that, so why are you asking? -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] Completelly Uninstall for .tar version!

by Michael Patrick Frysinger

this depends on the distribution you're using ;) i'm assuming you're currently using RedHat which means you're gonna have to do some work to track down which files it installed. you *might* be lucky and the makefile that came with the .tar will have an 'uninstall' target ... run this cmd in the directory where you extracted the sources: `make uninstall` if it complains about no target (in other words nothing seems to happen), then look to see if the source has a configure script. if it does, run it with the preix option set to a directory that is currently empty ... `./configure --prefix=/tmp/my_stupid_install` and then run make like that ... hopefully make will respect the prefix completely and install under that directory, at which point you can analyze the resulting directory tree to see where the last install put files. -mike On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Aramico wrote: > How can i make a completelly uninstall for an application that has been installed by using .tar sources ? >
