I've got to get it solved because I have to send out some e-mails that must look right. If I try to paste anything into a message, it looks right before sent, but when I see the message after sent (like on a mailing list), many line endings are wrong: lots of short lines, sometimes only one word. Also words will run together, usually about once per line. The problem is the Mail does not convert line endings to spaces. Or it converts some and misses some. I had assumed at first that the problem came because I was pasting from Word. I have noticed, however, it happens even when I paste from another mail message or move a paragraph in the same message. I tried various tasks under Services that looked promising. I tried "remove line ending." Didn't work. I tried "convert to Mac line endings." Didn't help. I tried "reformat." That helped a little. The problem is less pronounced, but still there. What's the secret here. It seems an odd problem. Do other people have this?

Look in the Toast folder in your Applications and click on Discus. It's trial and error till you sort it out but you can (sort of) design your own inserts using templates and text and font variations. You can also paste photos into the cover art.

When a server is overloaded, a download will often fail midstream.

If you don't have the browser configured to automatically remove entries from the download list you should find the failed download there. There are controls, whose functionality seems obvious to me, that will pause, cancel, and restart downloads in both Safari and Firefox. I also was able to restart an unfinished download in Safari by double clicking on the unfinished download in the finder. An unfinished download is indicated by a white icon with the Safari emblem on it. Below the emblem will be a blue progress bar that has not moved all the way to the right and has the name of the file you were trying to download.

An unfinished or stopped download is apparently entirely different from a failed download due to a server overload. When attempting to download the new Parallels file at , it has been repeatedly failing due to a server overload. If I purposefully press the Stop Downloading button in Safari's Downloads window, I can then Resume the downloading of that same file. But if the download fails due to the server overload, the partial file that exists can not be resumed. This is a tough deal since many of the dozens of attempts have gotten more than 80 or 90% complete. Fortunately it did work for me late last night. :-) -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Robert Ameeti The only way to entertain some folks is to listen to them. -- Kin Hubbard <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> From philip.robar at gmail.com Wed Feb 28 14:22:46 2007 From: philip.robar at gmail.com (Philip J Robar) Date: Wed Feb 28 14:23:05 2007 Subject: [X-SW] Resuming of HTTP Downloads after a failure In-Reply-To: References: <786C1CFE-642E-4AEA-B6CC-C943A3C9D61C@gmail.com> Message-ID: On Feb 28, 2007, at 1:57 PM, Robert Ameeti wrote: > Ok.

Thanks, I've learned something new. Phil
