Re: [tied] Re: Computer puzzle

Hi Ingegerd,

The only thing that you can do here is to go to Tools/Options -- General Tab. Select "Do not connect" from the dropdown combobox where you find the label "If my computer is not connected at this time".

This means that you will have to manually dialout every time you need to transfer mail.

Dear list, Before posing a question, I'll just briefly introduce myself. I am a Norwegian Saami (previously called Lapp) archaeologist, living in London, but commuting to Oslo for work in Saami cultural heritage management. At university in Norway, I also studied Finnish, and I have a great interest in language and its connection with archaeology and ancient peoples, thus my membership of this list. And so to my question: Some of the messages from cybalist contain an eGroups banner at the end, which seems to trigger an automatic dial-up server response in my e-mail program (Outlook Express). In other words, the dial-up connection window pops up, not just once, but twice, and I have to cancel it twice. This is highly irritating and time-consuming when it happens, and I was wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble? And could someone explain why it happens? As I said, it only seems to apply to certain messages, an example of which is included in this mail, and only on this list, despite the fact that I belong to other lists with an eGroup-address. Sorry for taking up so much space, but sometimes it takes me twice or three times as long to get through messages on this list as on any other!
