Oddblogwherein Iain Lamb and Ethan Diamond prattle on incessantly about all things Oddpost(Untitled)- September 20, 2002 Do you consider yourself an "advanced" Oddpost user OK fancy-pants, you will be thrilled to know that you can now change your From name, From address and Reply-To address on a per message basis! Just choose View-From in the message composition window and go to town. You can also make the From fields visible by default -- just go to File-Preferences.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/20.html#a31 (Untitled)- September 20, 2002 The Bcc: field in the message composition window is now hidden by default. You can flick it on for a single message by selecting View->Bcc, or you can make it on by default by selecting File->Preferences.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/20.html#a30 (Untitled)- September 20, 2002 Please note that Britain, Germany and Uzbekistan are not third world countries. Speaking of which, you now set the message table date format explicitly, via the Preferences dialog. We trust that this will suit your needs better than our old code that "automatically sensed your global position and displayed the date and time according to local tradition." The trouble with that method was that you might be a Frenchperson, visiting say, Paris, Texas on holiday, go into an internet cafe, and find...http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/20.html#a29 (Untitled)- September 4, 2002 A few micro-glitches were recently fixed. You can now shift-tab from a message's body back to its subject. You can now hide the message pane, arrow down until some messages from the top scroll out of sight, then arrow up until they return, and not cause the entire menubar to disappear. You can now view an email's body in the message pane without screwed up scrollbars, even when that message is in HTML and contains absurdly long strings. You can now stop reading about minutiae.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/04.html#a28 (Untitled)- September 4, 2002 Say...you can now select and copy text (message subject, From address, etc.) out of a message's header! We were going to play it cool and just pretend that this was always working, because, well, it's kind of embarrassing that it ever wasn't, but then we remembered what our therapists said about communication, and immediately sat down to compose this blog entry.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/04.html#a27 (Untitled)- September 4, 2002 Did you know that in some developing third world cultures, it is still customary to list the day before the month, and display time based on a 24 hour clock Much to somebody's chagrin, the Received column in the message table was ignoring this rather quaint little practice. And who are we, you may ask, to affect progress Nobody, nobody at all. Our code now automatically senses your global position and displays the date and time according to local tradition.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/04.html#a26 (Untitled)- September 4, 2002 It seems that Oddpost had an unintentional maximum limit of 113 folders (we're engineers, so we like these nice round numbers). Subscriber M, looking for adventure, added folder 114 and suffered the unfortunate consequences. Now, because of his sacrifice, you can add 114 folders in the cozy, comfortable knowledge that it hopefully might work. (Just kidding. It works. Really!)http://radio.weblogs.com/0108381/2002/09/04.html#a25 |
