Anyone have any idea how I can get a 100 MB Iomega parallel port drive to work. I've connected it, have a zip drive in the drive, and rebooted. AFAIK, the system did not recognize the drive. I've spent an hour googling and am afraid I will have to recompile the kernel to add support for this think. Heck with that! I bet openSuse has an easier way. I've also browsed around Yast but couldn't find anything there. Finally, I installed 2 programs....gtkzip and ziptool. Neither work.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Clark,
Please post your question as a new message to opensuse mail list. Changing subject doesn't remove referrals that make message threaded, so you basically hijacked the thread which is not very popular.
BTW, gtkzip and ziptool are file compression tools that will not make Iomega ZIP drive running.
Until you repost message I'll see how to connect parallel port ZIP drive.

I'm confused.
Me too. KMail threaded your message with existing thread. I got Kmail closed and opened again with the same problem, but after running some filters it redraw the window and everything was in place.
I thought I started a new thread. Are you saying that there is some sort of referral hidden in my message that caused my message to appear as part of some other thread, even though I changed the subject? Tell me more about this please.
It is in the header of the message field References: In Thunderbird press keys Ctrl+u and it will open new window with message in a raw format. Scroll down and look for line starting with "References:". Even you message that came direct to me has this field with other messages listed.
How do I start a new thread?
You did it right, it is my mail client that messed displayed threads.
I just looked on the opensuse archive and it looks like I actually did start a new thread...
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-06/threads6.html
Can you explain this to me?
No. I have to look into it and see if I can reproduce error as it makes my answers out of place. Added another mistake I made it looks even worse :-(
Also, thanks for looking into the zip drive for me.
That might be the easiest part :-) I'll post what I find as answer to your first message. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, he didn't, it is a hijack alright.

His "references" shows that it is a reply to the email from Anil.
OK.
You are seeing the strange bhaviour because sometimes kmail tries to make up for hijackers clumsiness if it sees a different subject line ;-)
Hmm... I guess, it is optional "Thread Messages also by subject" in dropdown menu "Folders". It is helpfull to keep messages that belong to same thread togeather even if author is using client that doesn't handle References filed in the header. What I didn't expected to see threads separated by the subject line, and it happened after running filter that moves old messages to archive folder, not before. In the mail that he sent direct to me and I included it sending to the list as CC (the one that your replied to) he pointed out this: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-06/threads6.html which shows the same problem as KMail. Thread looks as new, so I was confused. So advice to Clark is to use "Write" icon in Thunderbird, and enter mail list address by hand in To: field. Maybe someone that is In KMail you can declare any folder as mail list folder using folder properties dialog from context menu (right click on folder icon) and you get option in the same context menu "New message to mail list" and it will enter mail list address in To: field for you. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
