Nonsense.  SMTP has nothing to do with in.  Mailman already has to scan 
and modify the headers of every message before re-submitting the message 
the mail server for distribution to the subcriber list.  Mailman also 
aready has the logic to organize mail messages into threads. (which it 
uses for the web based archives.)

The problem here, though, I admit, is that the threading is probably 
done after the message has been processed and "sent to the list".. 
whereas to implement my idea, that information would have to be figured 
out (via Subject header and or  In-Reply-To:  header, or whatever else 
is used to properly thread the messages) and compared to a blacklist of 
threads before being forwarded to the list proper.

Issues abandoning Microsoft Windows

With Apple iOS5 not needing iTunes, one of the last reasons to use
Microsoft Windows is going away. Web site access is the last. Here is
a great example: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov click start here & you see
"browser incompadibilty list. Solutions for Microsoft AND Apple, but
zero for Linux. Interesting this is a GOVERNMENT web site!? Crony
capitalism! Anyway ...what ARE my options here? I'm really, REALLY
sick of having a dual boot for an OS I don't enjoy using. Thanks ahead
of time!

Had the same problem doing the fafsa for my son. I used virtual box
and ran windows
in that. It sucks for sure to have to do it that way but, it works fine.

Virtual box latest version?

I am running Virtual box (PUEL) vers 4.0.12_72916 on 10.04. If I click 
on updates in Virtual Box it tells me that I am running the latest 
version. But on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads it says the 
latest Linux version is 4.1.2.

Looking in Synaptic /contrib (download.virtualbox.org) it shows I have 
version 4.0.12-72916 installed but also shows version 4.1.2-73507 and 
says it is the latest version.

I'm having some problems with a couple of my VM's and want to try the 
latest VB and guest additions. Will I need to install from Synaptic or 
will I eventually be offered a chance to upgrade through VB?

Regards,  Jim

You should first remove v. 4.0.1 and then install v.4.1.2.

Re: [OT] get rid of OT

Hello Amedee,

No. Sounder was directly associated with Ubuntu, and that is not
appropriate for an OT list that will get in to questionable behavior
and material. The OT list I am proposing is completely separate from
UB and not run by UB.

Yes, I think you did. Is that more clear, or did the above not address
your thoughts?
