Software upgrade

I’ve decided to chuck in Mozilla and move on to a Firebird and Thunderbird tag team. Both seem a bit more polished than their Mozilla counterparts, and the default styles are much nicer. (Actually, Firebird looks a bit like an IE clone, but is better organised.)

I’ve also managed to suck a few years’ worth of emails off the Yahoo! Mail server and into my desktop client with the assistance of YahooPOPs! It was a bit fiddly to set up, and I had to download fewer than 20 messages at a go (to avoid timeouts), but it means I no longer have to keep my old Yahoo address active. It now funnels all new mail into the trash folder, and replies with a “holiday” message including my new email details.

By the way, if you want to read an extremely heated debate about a couple of dashes and a space,
here ’tis. I read the thread because I wanted to remove the divider, but now I’ve decided to keep it.

    Yes please. Mmm, punctuation.
