There is a plugin called Esoteric Settings, that might have this, or you
can use the newer x-settings, but I don't know the details on how to do
this setting with either. I use SuperSleek and you would find this feature
in the Sleek Text & Reply panel a check box called "so called smart
paste", just uncheck it. :-}
Whilst Eudora is a very comprehensive program, there are a few minor
details left out by the authors. However, one of Eudora's great
selling points over the competition is it's plug-in architecture.
This means that other programmers can write simple little plug-ins
that enhance Eudora's performance. Several of these are provided by
Qualcomm, including one called 'Esoteric Settings' which allow the
modification of quite a few settings that Qualcomm have not included
the means to tweak in the standard programme.
A far better alternative to Esoteric Settings is a plug in called
SuperSleek by Alejandro Lopez-Valencia. This plug in works with
version 3.1 (either Pro or Light) to the current version
It adds a lot of extra settings to the program including the following:
Editable attribution lines (with different lines for 'Reply to
Sender' and 'Reply to All')
Margin settings for positioning windows
Date formats
Colour tweaking
What information is recorded in the connection log
Various network, POP and timeout settings
Toolbar button settings
Various dialog box & button texts
Printing and display fonts
It really should be considered an 'essential' piece of kit for any
serious Eudora user.
obtain it from one of the following addresses:

BTW, If you can't find it, then ask me for a copy and I will send one. :-}

Subject: [*] Download Deputy 4.2.2
ilesa Software releases Download Deputy 4.2
Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA -- 2/13/01 -- ilesa Software today
announced the release of Download Deputy 4.2, its popular Internet download
manager. ilesa's president, Mallory Paine, said today, "We wanted to
publically apologize for using customers' email addresses to enforce the
demo version's limitations and to announce a price drop. Some customers
considered this inappropriate, so I apologize to all of you personally. This
new version should erase your worries." And for those that haven't heard,
Download Deputy's price has been reduced by 20%! For a limited time,
Download Deputy is just $24 instead of the original $30.
What is Download Deputy?
Download Deputy is a convenient utility that manages all of your Internet
downloads. Why have multiple files downloading in many different programs
when one easy-to-use, efficient utility can handle them all? Don't let your
web browsing grind to a halt because of file transfers when Download Deputy
can automatically download everything later.
When surfing the 'net, it's often a pain to take a break while each
interesting utility or application you've found downloads. After all, the
Web is all about instant gratification, and download time is like a speed
bump on the information super highway. Enter Download Deputy! The Deputy
lets you create lists of files you want, then download all the files later.
Avoiding surfing downtime while downloading files is just one of the cool
features Download Deputy provides. All you have to do to add a file to the
download list is copy the link location for the file and paste it into
Download Deputy's URL window. You can then catch the next wave, secure in
the notion that you can download the file later. Once you're finished
surfing, click on Download Deputy's Go button and get yourself some coffee,
pardner. Download Deputy is on the trail of each of the packages you've
selected. If the site you're trying to download from is busy or unavailable,
you can configure Download Deputy to skip that site, retry until it gets
through or retry later.
If your ISP makes you pay different rates for using the Net at different
times, Download Deputy is a big win for you price-wise. Download Deputy is
like telephone software that lets you "automagically" bundle all your long
distance calls in off hours. In this case, you'll recoup the shareware fee
in a few days. Download Deputy isn't a gimpy sidekick such as in a black and
white western. It's a genuine utility that can be your best download friend.
Saddle up!
Download Deputy is $24 USD. A fully function trial version is available for
free from the ilesa Software website <
http://www.ilesa.com> and all major
Macintosh shareware ftp sites. Version 4.2 is a $12 upgrade to registered
users of version 3.x.

DownloadWizard 1.0
What it is: AppleScript droplet that downloads files which are listed as
URLs in a text file.
Author: Ton Brand
Company: Ton's Software
License: Freeware
Computer: PowerPC or iMac
Mac OS: Mac OS 8.6 or later
Abstract:
DownloadWizard is an AppleScript droplet that downloads files which are
listed as return-delimited URLs in a text file. The default download path is
the root of your startup disk, but you can define a destination folder. You
can also choose to have Remote Access disconnect you when all downloading is
done - by default you will stay online.
Your starting point is one or more text files that contain downloadable
URLs, separated by hard returns. The following protocols are supported:
http, https, ftp and file. If the program sees a wrong URL, an alert is
displayed suggesting to skip this URL. For your convenience, this alert will
abort itself after 20 seconds, so that the whole process can continue, which
is important if you let the program download a bunch of files overnight.
To start downloading you simply drag the text file(s) that contain the URLs
to DownloadWizard's icon.

Subject: [*] Forest abstract (I just sent the file via FTP)
Forest - Environment sound simulator for relaxation
Forest will play relaxing nature sounds, as if you were walking in a forest.
Launch Forest, listen, and relax! Working on your computer can sometimes be
very stressful; with Forest, not anymore.
Forest is packed with 6 worlds: Country World, Forest World, Garden World,
Night World, Storm World and the very popular Storm World II. We probably
don't have to explain you what sounds the worlds will play. Forest can also
play Relax environments.
Some people might tell us that looping the same world over and over is
boring, if not annoying. That is why Forest features a playlist, allowing
you to vary the worlds. You can even choose how long the worlds must play!
No, it's not over yet. If you don't want Forest to continually play
something, you can ask Forest to play random nature sounds. From time to
time, you'll hear a lovely bird or a cricket. Of course, you can choose the
time Forest must wait beetween each random sounds. And what's more, you can
even ask Forest to play night sounds such as owls after 9PM!
Forest features an extremely cool interface. Drag and drop the worlds on
Forest or eve
n on Forest's window to play them! Forest will display the info
window (what world is being played, the author and a different background
graphic for each world) only if it is the frontmost app. You don't have to
close anything, everything is automatic! Do you want to create yourself a
cool world? No problem! Forest features a very easy-to-use World Builder;
you don't have to master ResEdit. [Available only for registered users.]
Forest can also read MP3, AIFF & QuickTime files to loop them forever! That
is why we can call Forest a mini-player, since it can change the sound's
treble, bass & balance to enhance your listening pleasure.

Computer: PowerPC or iMac
Mac OS: 7.5 or later
Abstract:
HTML-Optimizer is the ideal tool for managing your web site. It checks your
web pages for broken links and dangling tags and optimizes both text and
graphic files.
The program offers 5 functions plus a number of useful options that make
working with HTML-Optimizer very easy. Especially the new 'duplimize'
feature comes in handy for uploading an optimized web folder. The program
has a built-in Manual and Balloon Help is supported too.
The five basic functions of HTML-Optimizer are:
1. Optimizing HTML code by removing unnecessary characters and tags, which
results in faster loading of your pages in your client's browser. Embedded
script code, e.g. JavaScript, is not ruined. Graphic file resources, which
are of no use on the web, are removed, saving 10 to 80 % of space.
2. Checking the so called tagged pairs, i.e. the tags that always have to
appear together with their end tags. Further, IMG tags are checked for
Width, Height and Alt attributes. Missing attributes are added with values
which are automatically detected.
3. Checking the validity of the internal hyperlinks, 8 levels deep.
4. Marking dangling tags and missing attributes to find and fix them
quickly.
5. Converting special characters to the &....; notation.
Version 4.1 has an extended label menu, a new About-window and some minor

Subject: [*] QIF Convert 1.3 - Adding Categories to QIF Files Based on Description
QIF Convert converts Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) banking or
credit card transaction files, adding Quicken categories based on the
description of each transaction. It is useful for converting QIF
downloaded from online banking or credit card web sites before
importing them into Quicken. To convert a QIF file, just drop it
onto QIF Categories.
You can configure QIF Categories as a browser helper application for
files of type application/qif to have it invoked automatically on
downloaded QIF files.
QIF Convert converts each transaction in the QIF file by: 1) Deleting
any existing category, and adding a category associated with the
transaction's description; 2) Removing the plus sign from transaction
amounts (because not all versions of Quicken allow plus signs); 3)
Optionally adding an indication that the transaction has cleared; 4)
Optionally extracting a check number from the description (unless the
transaction already has a check number) and using it as the check
number that Quicken will recognize; 5) Optionally changing the
description and category to values associated with the combination of
the original description and the amount; and 6) Optionally allowing
you to confirm the transaction, where the description and/or category
can be changed, or the transaction can be deleted. You have the
option of store transactions from one ore multiple accounts in the
same output file.
System requirements:
* System 7.5.3 through 9.1

Subject: [*] QIF Web Extract 1.1 - Extracts Investment Transactions
One important feature that continues to be missing from Quicken for
the Macintosh is the ability to import investment transactions from
brokerage firms. QIF Web Extract addresses this problem by extracting
transactions from brokerage website transaction history pages and
converting them into Quicken Interchange Format (QIF). The resulting
QIF file can then be imported into Quicken. To use QIF Web Extract,
you display your transaction history in your web browser. You then
select the entire web page (or the frame of the page with
transactions), and copy it into the clipboard. Then run
QIF Web Extract, which extracts the transactions you specify from the
clipboard.
To be able to accomplish this extraction, QIF Web Extract needs to
know what securities and accounts you have defined in your Quicken
file, and it needs to know how your website presents its transaction
information. You need to export your securities and accounts from
Quicken, and QIF Web Extract needs to learn about your website.
QIF Web Extract has the ability to learn about a wide range of
websites. However, no guarantee can be made that any particular
website can be learned. Since different browsers encode web page
information copied into the clipboard in different ways, the specific
web browser used is a factor in determining whether QIF Web Extract
can learn a particular website. QIF Web Extract has been tested with
and works with both Internet Explorer and Netscape.
System requirements:
* System 7.5.3 through 9.1
For more information, please read the documentation enclosed, or

TidBITS#570/05-Mar-01
Ever tried to work on a document with someone else via the
Internet? It's often more difficult than it seemingly should be,
so this week Adam starts a series of articles looking at how
TidBITS does it and how you too can build successful document
collaboration systems for different situations. Also this week,
Louise Bremner returns to TidBITS with another report from
Macworld Expo Tokyo, and we note the passing of a long-time
Macintosh favorite, MacWEEK.

Subject: [*] Verbs & Nouns 2.4.7 - foreign language learning
'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation
and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the
opportunity to do various inflection exercises, and translation exercises in
both directions; to record and play sound for single words; to do
exercises based on sound or pictures; and to play various word-games.
The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that
the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a
module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used
as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for
any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition
of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as
bilingual dictionaries.
Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages. You can
visit:

Subject: Eudora 4.2 and KeyChains on OS9.1
Help!
I have recently installed OS 9.1 on my G3-Bronze powerbook, and on my first
new launch of Eudora, it asked me if I wanted to use a Keychain to store all
my passwords.
I clicked "no". Dolp!
Now I can't find out where to set the option to use my keychain.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance

Subject: HP DeskWriter 600
I am unable to use a HP DeskWriter 600 printer connected to my PB G3/233.
I tried with a serial, an AppleTalk and an Ethernet connection, with
and without the LocalTalk Bridge extension and a Faralllon EtherMac
iPrint Adapter LT.
I can duly select the printer with the "Chooser" but nothing happens
when I select "Page Setup " and, especially, "Print ."
The version of the DW 600 Series drivers I'm using is 9.4.1 and the
system is Mac OS 9.0.4.
Does anybody have any useful suggestion?
