<oz1> Did you look at the ascii art in the last icq lesson?
<oz1> They are like little people made with letters and numbers. Cute
<Jayne> never had a chance to see that yet oz
<oz1> Here is the URL:  http://privat.schlund.de/graphicq/gone.htm
<Jayne> that is cool OZ. that site
<oz1> I got an email from someone that used one like that for their signature.
Really cute.
<FlorenceF> Hi cm.  I thought perhaps everyone is studying the newly posted exam
<oz1> Did you try the email again Flo?
<FlorenceF> No, I didn't oz, because I will have to leave Outlook Express &
concentrate on Netscape to do it.
<candyman1> did you all notice the title of this channel?
<oz1> Did you understand how to get the sound?<candyman1> Note question # 7.
<FlorenceF> I ran out of time, and used what little I had to explore all the
settingsof  Netscape<candyman1> of the exam<oz1> What is it Candy?
<candyman1> was the web created by our Richard<kittycat1> created by a spider?
<candyman1> was one of three possible answers
<kittycat1> think eagel did a good job making up the quiz
<FlorenceF> I just saw our title, and we are not abandoned.  We have Oz and she
has given us enough URLs to last all summer<candyman1> yes she did.
<kittycat1> Sure hope Richard is better
<candyman1> There is no excuse for failure in taking the exam
<candyman1> and not passing it
<oz1> Be sure to check out the one with the word utah in it. It is very very
good and also the one with trinity. These are in the letter from VU.
<oz1> Lesson #13<kittycat1> Yup--the most comprehensive one is
<kittycat1> http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/travel/ns40/ns4navigate.html
<FlorenceF> What should I do to bring up the exam, without losing this page?
<FlorenceF> Everytime I try to go somewhere else I lose this - open again, &
can't get back
<oz1> Click on the navigator wheel at the bottom of the page and you will get a
new window.<oz1> This one should go to the task bar.
<candyman1> or click on the "-" on the top mIRC line<oz1> Flo is not in mirc
<candyman1> and this channel will go to the task bar<candyman1> oh
<kittycat1> Uh oh--what on earth is the task bar?<candyman1> so sholly teach
<oz1> At the bottom of the page of windows program.
<kittycat1> Oh--OK--maybe that is what is called the component bar  on a Mac
<candyman1> KC is on a Mac?<kittycat1> (hanging head) (digging toe in dirt) Yup
<candyman1> I knew there was something wrong with KC   lol
<kittycat1> thanks a BUNCH
<oz1> I worked on a mac some last year but don't remember much about it.
<candyman1> your welcome<kittycat1> Have you taken your test yet?<Jayne> no
<kittycat1> gonna?
<FlorenceF> I tried to ask this on Friday. "Threading" is that the cobwebs on
the sides of.<Jayne> not sure yet.
<candyman1> you can use the lessons for answers
<kittycat1> I'm ignoring candyman--he makes fun of my Mac
<oz1> Eagle had me read it last night and it had the answers on it so I can't
take it.<candyman1> unlike college
<FlorenceF> email when you try to answer on the reply button
<candyman1> no attachments allowed<candyman1> Vu will not accept
<candyman1> due to viruses<candyman1> and a firewall
<FlorenceF> Some day some one will tell me what "Threading" is!
<candyman1> put up the "secret" oz
<oz1> I am looking for some info on it Florence.<oz1> Fun to see who comes in.
<Jayne> the button with the lines on it to the left of the Subject, sender
datebars that is the threading button
<Jayne> when you click it your messages are sorted in thread order.
<candyman1> all email on the same subject is together
<candyman1> next to one another
<oz1> The thread means that if you send a message about cows and I answer it and
Jayne also answers it they will form a thread.<candyman1> oz has a gateway puter
<oz1> One message is listed under another in order of when they were received.
<FlorenceF> No wonder I didn't no.  Aint had no cows! Seriously. It is used for
sending<FlorenceF> group mailings then?
<oz1> When you look at your mail and there is a spool of thread beside a message
that means that there is another message there about the same subject.
<oz1> Sometimes.
<FlorenceF> Must be only used in Netscape e-mail.  I have never even seen the
word in Explorer.
<oz1> If there is more than one message there will be a small + sign beside it
<FlorenceF> Couldn't find the word in any of my books either.
<oz1> If you click on the + then the other message will be opened.
<FlorenceF> Does it depend on how your mail is sorted when it comes in?
<oz1> There is an option to set for it.
<FlorenceF> I just have never seen it before.  Where do you set the option?
<FlorenceF> I am justnow starting to find the differences between Outlook
Express & netscape
<oz1> Sorry-you click on the four horizontal lines beside the word subject.
<FlorenceF> I can see that I must start actually using Netscape's email to
understand these things.
<kittycat1> Hmmmmmmmm  I just clicked on it--the lines changed--but I can tell
nothign else
<FlorenceF> To be honest, I have (and even today) opened all my mail & replied
in OIE.<kittycat1> what is supposed to happ0en when you click it?
<oz1> With threads the two emails you sent me about sound I have only the first
one you sent showing. The other one is hidden until I click on the +
<FlorenceF> Just do that from force of habit.<FlorenceF> Oh really!!
<oz1> It doesn't matter if they have been opened.
<oz1> I will send you another one with the same subject as before and then you
will see how it works.
<FlorenceF> A person could miss mail that way, if they didn't know about it
<FlorenceF> How come MS has never discovered this?
<candyman1> I did lose mail before I learned about it
<FlorenceF> Hey candyman, I am sure glad you are human.
<candyman1> not at all times !<oz1> This is how we all learn.
<oz1> Florence, I have sent you another mail Re:music
<oz1> Your mail will tell you that you have one unread message but you 
 won't see it until you click on the +
<FlorenceF> Thanks Pat.  I will open my eyes on this one.<FlorenceF> OK will do.
<kittycat1> I haven't a CLUE what you are talking about
<oz1> There should be a green mark by the spool and a larger green dot to the
right of the message.<oz1> It is the same thing as in the newsgroup kc
<FlorenceF> Kittycat that has been my line every time before.
<kittycat1> I don't get newsgroups yet<oz1> I have 5 that I am reading now.
<FlorenceF> I hope someone is logging this.  I will need to read it again
<kittycat1> Flo   =^;^=<oz1> I am Flo<FlorenceF> I don't get newsgroups either.
<FlorenceF> My server keeps trying to cut me off.  Maybe I have gone over my
hours.
<oz1> If you go to the very bottom of the Unofficial FAQ page and click on the
link it will take you right to it.
<FlorenceF> When I started this course, I had no idea of the depth of it.  And I
am LEARNING so many other things too.
<candyman1> every day is a learning experience
<FlorenceF> I had to shout that one word, because all these things are still
unlearned.
<kittycat1> Wheeeeeeeeeeee  I finally saw a spool--I opened my trash and 
finally found two a like!!<candyman1> what word?
<oz1> Flo if you go to that URL with Utah in it you will learn alot. It goes
step by step.<FlorenceF> I just read back to candyman LOL
<FlorenceF> I will do that as soon as I get out of here
<oz1> It is a class but you don't have to register or anything. Just go to the
lessons.
<kittycat1> If you had a MAC, you would KNOW what we look like--we have a window
called "Faces"--and can actually put up pictures
<oz1> Well if you had windows you could get netmeeting and use someone elses
computer...<candyman1> If you put your pic on the net
<FlorenceF> That would be why we will all someday have WebPages just to post our
picture :-)<oz1> Not me.<FlorenceF> Nor me.
<kittycat1> Well--THAT line of conversation sure died a quick death
<candyman1> nor me, me thinks<kittycat1> Sheeeeeeessssssssshhhhhhh<Jayne> nor me
<kittycat1> Sigh<kittycat1> Guess I am weird
<oz1> Probably just better looking than the rest of us.<candyman1> I am prettier
<kittycat1> Some of us old bags just don't care
<FlorenceF> I am sitting here really laughing out loud. But this old bag does
care.<candyman1> you have your pic on your home page KC<kittycat1> yup
<kittycat1> that is what I said--<kittycat1> guess I am weird
<FlorenceF> Anyway, there is one thing that I would like to learn. That is when
I reply to sender<candyman1> no not from where I sit kc
<FlorenceF> How do I get rid of the little punctation things, when I answer some
of the questions.<kittycat1> Yes Flo?
<FlorenceF> Once in a while it is easier to use the reply button.
<kittycat1> Can you highlight and delete?
<FlorenceF> That is the only thing I have thought of, but I thought there might
be an easier way.<kittycat1> Do you always quote all of the original letter?
<FlorenceF> Not usually.<candyman1> no
<kittycat1> Not sure what little punctuation thingys you are talking about
<FlorenceF> Most times I start from scratch and write a new letter.
<kittycat1> When I click reply--there is blank page--with only my signature
<candyman1> just enough so the the person who is rec'g knows what the email is
about
<FlorenceF> When I click reply (in outlook express) my wording goes in above the
senders<FlorenceF> But the receiver gets both when he gets my email- his & mine
<kittycat1> Oh--I was talking about Netscape.  I know nothing of Outlook Express
<FlorenceF> This may be another of the differences
<oz1> You will have to ask eagel. She used outlook.
<FlorenceF> I know one thing that I cannot do in Netscape email - Frequently I
end up
<kittycat1> Have you looked to see if there is an option somewhere that allows
you to NOT have the quote included?
<FlorenceF> writing notes around midnight.  But I like to hold them and send
them in the a.m<oz1> You can send later in Netscape.
<FlorenceF> On explorer I can put them in the Out box & make changes if I want
in the morning to the same letter & still send it.
<oz1> You go to File and then down to Send Later.
<FlorenceF> I have looked through all the options
<oz1> Or you can send it to draft and finish it later.
<FlorenceF> Yes I could do that, but then I might have to write a new letter
rather than change a couple of words.
<FlorenceF> I guess I could send id to draft, Pat. I had no thought of that.
