Mailing list filters with KMail
by David A. Riggs 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

I switched my previous KMail (v. 1.3 1) filter settings for this list from "<<TO: or CC:>> contains suse-linux-e" to "X-Mailing-List contains suse-linux-e", and I can see from the source of the messages that they contain the line "X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e" in the message header... But, my main inbox is quickly filling with SLE messages. Here is the relevant section of my .kde2/share/config/kmailrc: [Filter #0] StopProcessingHere=true action-args-0=SuSE action-name-0=transfer actions=1 apply-on=check-mail,manual-filtering contentsA=suse-linux-e contentsB= fieldA=X-Mailing-List fieldB= funcA=contains funcB=contains name=<X-Mailing-List>:suse-linux-e operator=and rules=1 I tried switching the 'fieldA=X-Mailing-List' to 'fieldA=X-Mailinglist' without luck, as well as trying 'contains suse-linux' and 'contains suse', tried both 'and'ing and 'or'ing with the mandatory second (but blank) filter. I'm going back to "TO: or CC:" before SLE eats my inbox. ;/ Suggestions (I'd like to keep using KMail)? Thanks, David A. Riggs

StarOffice 6 Beta Woes

Has anyone else here had time to try out StarOffice 6 Beta yet? It looks pretty nice, but when ever I open the Tools or File menus the program has an "unexpected shutdown." Anyone else notice this?

Re: [SLE] [LILO,HD] BIG BIG EMERGENCY!

Now, if the first blocks of your hd go bad, ask a wizard and supply the noted down output. I'm not a wizard, but I know that if fdisk expert output on *my* hd is... Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 612 cylinders Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec Cyl Start Size ID 1 80 1 1 0 63 63 4 63 20097 83 2 00 0 1 5 63 63 21 20160 68544 82 3 00 0 1 22 63 63 611 88704 2378880 83 4 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 ....then *my* /dev/hda1 starts at byte offset 63*512 (see start column). Thus, if I want to save /dev/hda1, I use dd if=/dev/hda of=file bs=512 skip=63 count=20097 (Hope that's right; did not test the count param.) Every partition data wizard on the list may feel free to comment on that. Wolly
