I don't see any triangle after any URLs in my emails. Maybe this is a
function of what version of Mail you are using? I'm using Mail v3.6
(OS 10.5.8).

It's probably a Lion thing. My concern is that, for the preview to work, it has to load the page…right? Is there any advantage to the fact that it's not handing the URL off to a web browser to do so? Doesn't seem like it to me.

Mike: In 'Lion' hover the cursor over the URL -- a triangle will appear at the end of the URL.
Click on that triangle.

You could be right. I am using Mail 5.2 with Lion 10.7.3. I really do not remember when this function became available.

I don't see any triangle at the end of URL's in the Mail program either. I running ver. 4.5. If I hover near the end of a URL it will show the site. But the URL that I'm using is a full one so I already know what the site is without doing that.
Will it work with a tiny URL ---don't know because I don't have one to try.

I can't do it in Lion, Earle, unless you can figure a way to install
Lion on my G5. Can't go past Leopard with this one. See the end of
my previous email.

There we go! Thanks for that, Gayle. That works in Mail v 3.6, too.
Never thought to hover there, and I also can't check a tiny URL at the
moment.

Mike (and others):
In Lion, it works with both original URLs and TinyURLs.

I use it whether or not the URL is full or tiny. Full URLs make the decision easier of whether or not to bother to go that far.

I use it occasionally. But I usually use the click-and-drag method to display a link's full URL. Quicker and easier, IMO.

Re: BSOD on Old G4 Tower

The battery seems fine as the date and time are correct. I did spin the pram battery in the housing it sits in which may have helped a contact if it had been an issue.
Fortunately I'll be booting into OS 9 only 1 last time to change my website to say "Khob Khun Ma Khrup" to all my clients before I head off to Bangkok. When my web host subscription lapses it will be gone as I'm not planning on doing the same work overseas.
Getting all my film, cameras, and hard drives into carry on is going to be a trick. My guess is that that the weight will be such that the HD's will have to go in my checked bags. My drum scanner, Mac Pro w/o hard drives, and so on will be shipped by boat with all our other worldly possessions.

Glad it's working and have a good trip.
Your move sounds interesting.
Keep in touch with the group and I hope we hear from you after the
move.
It would be interesting to hear about the availability of Macintosh and
Apple products and service in, well, Siam.

Ah, now that is a good reason to abandon the G4, relocating and by plane. Pull your drive and donate it to something like Free Geek. You might want to move the data to a newer HD so the connections are easier to find when in Bangkok. The older ATA might be a challenge, compared to SATA.
Glad you got it working to finish up your work, while you decide what to pack.
Your phrase in Thai stumped Google translate.
The drum scanner caught my attention. I have not seen a photofax drum scanner since the late '60s for the news services. Was is it a photofax, and besides yours, where are they being used? Is it a photofax machine, and does it still use a dialup modem, or has it been converted to digital for internet use?

Re: Drive Format Question

Tue May 1, 2012 7:36 am (PDT)
I've read the Wiki article but it does not address the partition issue. I think the Wiki article wording that ExFAT was "designed especially for flash drives" is misleading. It was designed to address the problems of FAT32 which are apparent in the use of flash drives. However, there is nothing about ExFAT technically that makes it "designed for" flash drives. It works fine for any drive since there is no meaningful difference between "flash" and "hard" drives as far as current partitioning and formatting schemes are concerned.
Cheers,

I never said it was safer. I said I could better decide if I want to go there.
Hey, it is personal choice, I am just trying to propose a different view, not take over the world.
Easy does not always mean better. I suggesting why it is not better to use tiny URLs. Or is discussion not allowed here?

And that would satisfy both camps, since we seem to still be battling it out.

I changed the subject line to try to make this a side thread, and not steal Terry's.
I was going to ask what the heck is a SDXC card slot, and the first answer back from a web search was
http://support.apple.com/ kb/HT3553
Finally, and about time. The Expansion Card slot has been useless for years and it has needed a SD slot for a long time.

Nice article, misleading post about it.
It has noting with vacationing or traveling to Europe. In fact, if that post were an advertisement, it would not pass the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
Now, that is something I would like to see the US adopt, the ASA.

No, Louise, that is not what Randy was saying.
Yes, Apple has you covered if you installed the security updates.
No, you still have to be cautious and stay informed when using the internet.
If you were fishing, Randy's comment would be more along the lines of, "You should'a been here last week.", or in this case 3 weeks ago.
It is good that you use a good list to answer your questions, but you might want to visit more often and check the subject lines every so often, or select a single tech blog to scan a couple times a week. You will see warnings of these issues sooner.
Don't rely on TV or general news sources, as they often sensationalize the issues and very little fact get in the way of them telling the story, when it comes to tech news.

Beginner Applescript question
Posted by: "Tom Lyon" tlyon@netonecom.net molkmin

Hope this isn't off-topic since I wasn't successful in finding a group dedicated to Applescript that wasn't inundated with spam.
Does anyone have any experience with an Applescript that could display all mail folders in a list, then open the selected mail folder from that list?
Basically, I'm looking to use the keyboard only to iterate the mail folders in a list, select a specific folder, then display the folder message list.
I'm using the Mac OS X Lion version of Mail.
