address books
Miles
again. Perhaps a little rewording is in order to clarify:
I would enjoy changing several different AB's to mailing lists directly
under the PAB. Rationale is that a change to the PAB would also correct
the entry in the mailing list. But find this cannot be done because I
cannot find a method to create a sub-mailing list. For instance, I have
the PAB, with a company mailing list below, and below that is needed a
few sub-mailing lists which split out the names into various groups.
If the company mailing list is a separate AB, not a mailing list under
PAB, it is no problem to create mailing lists below it. But if the
company listing is a mailing list directly under the PAB, then I can only
create new mailing lists at the same level as the company mailing list,
but not sub-sub lists.
PAB
Mailing list (OK)
but
PAB
Mailing list (OK)
Mailing list (cannot be created)
This is in lieu of having several AB's on the same level as the PAB
whereby changes to the PAB do not change the entries in the other AB's.
Is there a method that I am missing out on????

Editing properties in a LIST will change properties in Parent book.
Editing properties in PARENT book will change properties in List
Deleting from a LIST will NOT delete from PARENT book.
Deleting from PARENT book WILL delete from list.
in short I do not think you can do what you want - ie - separate the
properties - as lists are just pointers. NOT actual enteries.
HTH

I understand what you say, but still don't comprehend why a sub-list is
not possible. For me and I'm sure for many others, that is the solution
to easily keeping the PAB and lists up to date. Edit a parent book
would then correct the sub and sub-sub books.
Wonder if there has been a request in for this or whether it is such in
SM or TB?

You know, I can't figure out why people are so fussy about creating
additional address books. All you need is mailing listings. Right
now, I have about 13 of them. One for my business lists, one for my
financial lists, one for my jokes lists, and so on. Some addresses
can be in more than one list. You don't need to make additional books.

east? Was that you?

Sorry that I could not be more help. If you edit an entry in the PARENT
book, it WILL update/change the entry in ALL lists that refer to that entry.
I just don't follow what you are asking.

Yep, that was me -- went for a month to Chiang Mai, Thailand for the Song
Kron Festival -- The Thai New Year celebration which lasts for a week!
Those people love a party! I believe they celebrate three different new
years, Christmas (Much bigger in that Buddhist country than it is in the
USA!) and most other major holidays in the world!

Guess you are right, I should convert to lists -- and before I upgrade to
FF/TB or SM. This is out of habit what I've done for 20 years in Word
Perfect, then simply carried it over to Netscape 15 or more years ago.

has it already been a month. Oh yuk! And here I am, still here.
Maybe I should take a cue from Lee and disappear for awhile.
But then maybe not, some of you would miss my anal retentive
argumentative attitude. :-) :-D :-!

If you can't take an OT discussion to a place where it is on topic (in
this case, perhaps personal email), then please move it to
mozilla.general. Thanks.

Chris, do you really feel that a complimentary msg to someone for their
assistance has no place in this newsgroup??? If that is the consensus
of this NG, then it is no place for me!

The discussion was about where you had been, and whether or not to go on
vacation. That's OT.
[follow up set to mozilla.general]

Miles, I'm curious on how you managed to post a reply to Chris'
message, when he set a followup to mozilla.general.

Simply forwarded it to this NG since this is where the subject was
brought up and where the reply belongs.
By the way, how does one go about setting a followup to another address
which I have not seen before, using Mozilla 1.7.12

It's called "resetting the followup" All you need to do is change the
newsgroup line.

It didn't work for me. I forwarded it to the newsgroup, and it
created a new posting.

put a follow up to another group. Then I forwarded to that message
back to the newsgroup and it created a new posting.

When you reply, it creates a composition window. Right under your From:
is the Newsgroup line. Change it to the group you want.
Reply to this and set the followup ot mozilla.test. I'll change it back
and respond to your reply.

I did another test in mozilla.test and this time it worked. Got it
now. Thanks.
