Your email client has to support IMAP as well, I'm not sure about Netscape, but Mozilla does it perfectly. Good news - IMAP service installation is simple and described on many sites. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I can access my mail from any PC or almost any mail client. Install an imap mail server and use fetchmail to get your mail from a pop account. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I have a couple in a machine that start making hell's racket from time to time. Aluminum are the best, but if you tell the vendor about the quitness you're looking for they should be able to test it in front of you before you buy. > And to be completely honest, the unwanted sounds were different > (but not less) with the second bay than with the first. Drive bay. Your sound room should be isolated from the electronics in any event for best sound quality, especially with digital recording.

Yes. The problem with short selling is that there is a (theoretically) infinite exposure, and a maximum possible upside. With your original example, the maximum possible upside is the $1500 that you short-sold the stock for, since the stock price can't go negative (no matter how much some people on this list may pray). But theoretically the stock price could rise to infinity. This is why, if you're bearish on a particular stock, it may be better to buy put options. At least your loss is limited to the market value of the puts at the time of purchase. That said, the put options would have greater price volatility than the actual stock. - awh -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Does anyone have a link to a site or some docs that explain, to a putz like me, what all this various financial wizardry is? I've seen shorting briefly explained here, but what about kiting, selling on margin, etc, and various other techniques and scams? I'd like to know but I don't have the inclination to read entire books about this stuff, or become a CPA or something. Later, B -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I have been using Netscape Messenger for email for some time. It has served me well. I now need to move to a system by which I can see the same email from two different PCs. Sounds like a simple thing but I have a feeling this is going to entail a huge learning curve and maybe even moving to a different email system. I don't even know where to start. I know that helpless newbies are not to be coddled on this list - I just need the first concept to investigate and then I'm sure that will have me chasing the right ideas - unless you know of a site called "Setting up Netscape Messenger to store the mail database centrally to be accessed from any linux PC on the network" (please Creator, let there be such a site!). : ) Chris -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I want the Reply To address on my outgoing email to be whatever-KpGSJ1HvxhMWgbWefVBuadBPR1lH4CV8 at public.gmane.org (doesn't matter what the 'whatever' is as labstudiofileld.com is just a parked domain which forwards any email ending with @labstudiofield.com to my subscription aitken-BwLjziHGQLusTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org) I tried this a while back and ran into problems sending/recieving email to/from tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org, if I recall correctly. Any ideas? I use Netscape email. Chris -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
