slow computer; slow to open e-mail and web pages

Hi

a.. Web sites are slow to open
b.. E-mail is extremely slow to load
c.. Something is wrong; I can't justify the monthly payment for this slow/sluggish service

 

In jekottke spewed forth:

No HTML. HTML bad.

Bad HTML - no cookie.

Bad, Bad HTML.

And this isn't Insightbb.com, bonkerbrains.

 

Even in the linux newsgroups...

It's no wonder...

See [snippo crappo] above.

I like this... You could send me the money...service? (OK, don't send me the
money.)

[snip of the repeat and I might have over snipped above, but who knows?]

 

Have you tried the "poor man's MIME" macro from
<http://www.geocities.com/tsca.geo/slang.html>? It can't mend the absence
of proper line-wrap, but it does make the message relatively legible.

 

No, I haven't. I'll go look at it but I'm sure I won't bother with it for
USENET. Probably, though, it (or something like it) would be good for mutt.

I did finally get a nano switch into my .slrnrc file that (I hope) is
justifying somewhere near where I want it.

 

Your line-wrap looks fine to me; I was referring to the absence of
line-wrap in those pesky OE 'multipart - MIME' messages.

I don't use the Mutt, but there are various macros etc for it 'out there'.

 

Yes, well I just don't want to bother with MIME, in general, for USENET.
But, you did get me thinking that I might want to spend a little more time
with some macros that work 'out of the box' for other functions.

Mutt does all of the MIME stuff, I was thinking "just some more macros", in
general. S-lang 2.0 is out and I'm lazy and I think a new slrn won't be
available to me for awhile...
