Replying and forwarding emails
HI,
When I hit reply to an email, it always puts the cursor right at the "
On 10/13/03 2:42 PM" date and time stamp with initial meesage below
it. This is kind of irritating because I want a couple of spaces
between my reply and the initial message I'm replying to, but
Entourage automatically puts it right at the reply stamp. Is there
any way to make a little space? In outlook express it always
automatically makes a couple of spaces between the two.
Also, when forwarding emails, my signature always comes up at the top,
before the forwarded message, this doesn't work for me. Is there a
way to get the stamp to appear at the bottom of the entire message
when forwarding, or jsut have it not come up at all for forwarded
messages?
Many thanks,

Importing into Entourage
I just got OSX on my machine (which I upgraded from 9.02)
and am trying to import all my info from Entourage 2001,
but it keeps asking for an identity file (that I cant find)
and giving me an error -61 message.
Any ideas? Tag: How to highlight many folders Tag: 29361
Writing anti-spam rules
Folks:
I've followed the instructions at
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/rules/rules_junk.html#Anchor-Junksubjects
and done pretty well using just my own rules using junk subjects and body
phrases. Some questions:
1) Is there a way writing rules that will pass through html formatted
message (which some friends and colleagues use) but detect and allow me to
toss any messages containing graphics?
Ooops, there's exactly one exception: I get some useful material from a
Yahoo mailing list and these contain advertisement graphics. I guess I'd
need to sort these out first, right, via an earlier-run rule.
2) To what degree does the "message body" criteria monitor the content of
html messages? For example, I know I can detect "financial freedom" in a
text message, but I'm less sure if it is detectable as part of an html
message. (Yes, I'm aware of methods for obscuring text, e.g.
"F|r|e|e|d|o|m", and I don't expect method in the current generation to
detect these.)
It may be that the built-in Junk Mail Filter does some or all of this, but
the Office help isn't very specific about how it works, and neither the
Mactopia site or the KnowledgeBase seems to have anything about it. I
don't want to use it unless I understand it better. So...
3) Can anyone say more about what the "Junk Mail Filter" works, e.g. How it
detects forged headers, and so on?
Thanks,
Henry

Scrambled IMAP Inbox
For the past two or three weeks, I've had the following problem:
Sometimes when I am deleting or moving messages from my .mac IMAP Inbox, one
message will simply "take over" another message, duplicating itself and
changing everything EXCEPT the message category. This last bit is what made
me notice it: I suddenly had messages in categories which made no sense.
The second message is just gone from Entourage, leaving two copies of the
first message, often in different categories. This usually seems to happen
to messages adjacent in the Inbox when I act on one or the other. It does
not always happen, maybe one out of ten or one out of twenty messages.
When I go in and look at the IMAP account using OSX Mail App, nothing has
changed, both messages still have their original content. At that point, if
the Entourage-scrambled message is important, I just forward it to a POP
account.
I have now done an advanced rebuild on the Entourage database three times.
Each time the IMAP inbox reloads correctly, but I get the corruption within
a day or two.
The only recent changes I had made before this started happening were Office
X 10.1.5 and OSX 10.2.8.
Any ideas on what I should try next?
Thanks,

Emails returning undeliverable that I did not send
Help,
I keep getting messages back that I did not send as "undeliverable".
I have virus protection from Norton AV 6.0.2 My OS is Mac 9.2.2
Does anyone have an idea why my Entourage 2001 program does
this? Why and how is my Entourage sending out these messages?
Thanks,

blocking email
I'd like to be able to block all email messages from certain extensions,
i.e. @abcdefg.com. Can I do that? I see in the rules where you can
exclude certain extensions from being filtered through your rules but
not select certain ones to block completely. Tag: How to highlight many folders Tag: 29348
