  Re: Silly lugnet autoemailerator question...
 
(...) Indeed. Hm. (...) Ah, I completely forgot you could do this. (...) Oh, certainly. I'm just trying to cut down on the annoyance of the autoemailerator. I suspect it's notably less annoying for folks who just point the mouse and type X, and I (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) heh, that would work, assuming nothing changes :) you still need to hit 'y' in mutt though to send it out...

(...) (speaking of which, the way to do simply that is to toss) map ` 1G8j9lrXZZ in your .exrc Then when you hit the ` key in beep mode, it'll go toss the X in the right place and save, from where you tell your MUA to send it. It does not, as (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Silly lugnet autoemailerator question...
 
(...) Hm, that would work, too. (I was figuring just a vi script to mark the X because I use vi to compose messages within mutt...) Something that just goes down and over the right distance and puts an X in is trivial, but I was thinking of what (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Silly lugnet autoemailerator question...
 
(...) well, not a vi macro, but I did write a perl script... when I get the auth message, I see that it's actually what I wrote, and hit A in my mutt window... it'll read the message, get the auth key, and post ok via http :) Dan (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Silly lugnet autoemailerator question...
 
Has anyone hacked togther a vi macro that automagically marks the appropriate box for this thing yet? :) (When did it show up, btw? I've been out of it for a while...) -JDF (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  website page maps
 
Hi, I just inherited a website to maintain and I'm trying to figure out how it is set up. Are there any free programs that can produce a site map or tree diagram based a directory full of files? thanks in advance -chris (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Physics/Materials geek question
 
I've figured out a better way - if the data entry guy stays *in* a truck all day, he has less to worry about.... ties up that truck though. I'm still going to build a catapult though. Going to test it on household materials first... I imagine I can (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
