Hello all,
I'm hesitating to change news readers because I like Google's
interface. In the interests of discussion, I'd make better
contributions without it, if only because it's a known spam source,
but its reader format beats the alternatives I've seen. I checked out
the 'nntplib' module to see if some hybrid with Thunderbird and GMane,
for example, would be possible. I don't think it would be that hard,
but before I put in the effort, I wanted feedback. Here's what I like
about it.
When new messages come, the entire thread they're in is moved to the
top of the list. You can click on it and browse the entire topic, and
compose your reply right under the message you're replying to. You
can also mark topics, to keep updated on when and what replies to your
messages come too. I haven't found all these features in another
reader, including Outlook, Thunderbird, and GMane. You've noticed
Thunderbird isn't the best for discussing Python, due to its colored
indents instead of caret marks in the interpreter prompt.. Free is a
big plus too.
What's my best option? Hijack Google's reader, and override 'reply'
to use an SMTP account? Write my own, perhaps sorting marked and
unmarked messages separately?
It's of course everyone's choices whether to block Google or not, and
miss out on anyone that posts them through Google. I don't think the,
'Well, if you insist' tactic is as cooperative and productive as
acknowledging, 'It's a big spam source, maybe I can find a provider
that isn't so beneficial to blacklist'.
Is there any resolution to the dilemma?

One of the first rules of doing web development is to never trust user
input.
So, my question is how this may affect the usage of the mail() function
within PHP.
Obviously, one can (fairly easily) verify that what one is passing in
the TO parameter is a valid e-mail address.
What is recommended with respect to the subject & message parameters?

Hi,
When I use php mail() in a script on my localhost to send an HTML
message to an e-mailaccount on my online host, all is fine.
When I use php mail() in a script on my online host to send an HTML
message to some e-mailaccount other than on my online host, all is fine.
But when I use php mail() in a script on my online host to send an HTML
message to an e-mailaccount on that same online host, I receive the
message code as plain text.

Hello all:
I'd like some advice on the best way to validate and confirm an e-mail
address entered during a registration process. What we are thinking of is
something like the following:
1. User comes to our web site and validates themselves as a member of our
database.
2. User creates a user name and password to be used to log in to our site.
3. User is required to enter a valid e-mail address to finalize

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
