G'day,
If you use the email system you run into problems trying to post links to
the Photo Site because quite often they run into two lines.
Take the link that Armand just posted for example:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=40243&title=vacuum-con
nections&cat=5557
When I receive the email the first line will be a blue underlined link the
second will be black and it doesn't work.
However, if you trim the link to the following:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=40243
It's all on one line and it works!
Disclaimer: I use Microsoft Outlook to send and receive email. That's what I
used when I was employed and I'm too lazy, stupid, and obstinate to learn /
use some other program! Your experience may be different!
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,
If you can overcome those minor problems, you should at least try GMail. It
threads very nicely on Subj:, saves all the traffic for you with no hard
disc space wasted, is fast, and doesn't split URL's, among many other
benefits. I'm ecstatic to be free of Outlook.

I agree Ken! A hipper engineer friend of mine talked me into trying gmail and I love it. Still use outlook at work but gmail keeps topics and threads together and makes them much easier to follow

Guys,
I forgot one thing; I have a Palm Treo 750 that contains ALL my Outlook
data, names, addresses, phone, fax, email, websites, birthdays etc.
I can make changes on my PC or the Treo and when I plug the Treo into its
base station connected to the PC it synchronizes the data.
I just checked Gmail and from what can tell I can't do that.
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,
For that functionality, you'd probably have to leave your Outlook in place,
but not necessarily use it other than as a holding file for Contacts and for
synchronization with your Treo. A program like the following would then
keep the Outlook file sync'd to Google:
http://www.companionlink.com/google/outlook/
As for trying GMail, it will easily import contacts from your Outlook file.
It's going the other way that requires an auxiliary program. I haven't
researched the available assortment of those. But I suspect there are a
number available.

Actually Rob,
If you want to you can load Chrome on your PC and then get the Gmail and Calendar apps for Palm and do all of that. And you don't have to plug into the base station to sync, because the Google apps are cloud based (they live on the web and stay up to date). You can store all of that and more and then use the calendar to keep you in line with what needs to happen.
Or you could just change to an Android platform device.
The easy way is to have the Palm package your entire contact file as *.csv and store it on your PC. (You should maybe do this anyway in the case your mobile device takes a hit). Then, when you are ready, import that to the new contacts file.

Gord,
Thanks, I run Outlook '03 also and you were correct, I reset it from 76 to 132.
I appreciate the other suggestions; however, this was the only gripe I had with Outlook.
I like keeping stuff "client side" too. I have a folder entitled GMC which has 250 sub folders where I file emails with info I want.
I can search this without being connected to the internet.
Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Outlook is tops imho - I much prefer to keep my 'stuff' "client side".
That said, you can of course pipe a GMail account in and through Outlook too instead of going "server side" to read and store info.
Now, the real issue is the default text wrap setting in Outlook and probably similar for folks using Outlook Express:
I have Outlook '03, others should be similar:
Tools > Options > Mail Format tab. "Internet Format" button.
Change "automatically wrap text at" (whatever it said), to its max which I believe is 132. That won't fix them all but it will sure
fix a lot of them.
HTH,
Gord ;)

If you have increased the "word wrap" point to maximum
it would STILL be a good idea to manually hit your
"carriage return" (ENTER) when you get to about 50
characters. It makes for easier reading in the first
place (see the size of newspaper or magazine columns)
and when multiple replies are posted really distracting
word wraps are minimized!
Texts that are typed continuously are a PITA to read!

Rob,
That's what I love about my iPhone. Everything synch's so easily to my computer that if the phone were lost or broken tomorrow I really wouldn't loose any data. I can't tell you how many lost phones have caused my daughter to despair over her lost contacts.

Larry,
I was told by a tech at the Apple store here that the iPhone won't sync with Outlook.
I buy Treo 750's off eBay for $100 or less. I actually have five of them; two for Helen and two for me and a spare.
When we travel we bring the ones we use in Australia with the Telstra sim cards in them so we can be contacted in an emergency and
buy Sim cards in the country we travel to. This avoids paying the exorbitant roaming rates from Telstra!
