Mail and Blueyonder email
John
I have had a Mac and a Blueyonder email address using Mail OSX 10.5 without any problems. A couple of days ago I had to re-install everything. The Mac email works fine, the Blueyonder is giving me problems, at first it got the mail ok, then after that it stopped working, kept asking for the password, then I got a message saying there is a serious fault and that it's not a pop address, I should change the Gmail settings. I have spent hours looking on Virgin and Google, just can't figure it out, can someone please help.

They're migrating all their email accounts to an internal gmail server,
so there could be *some* problems during the email migration.
FWIW it is still working (I use IMAP not POP) for me. Have you asked on
the virginmedia.* newsgroups?

Same here, also using IMAP not POP. It can be very flaky at times,
constantly asking for passwords, but seems OK at the moment.

application to send messages to Usenet.
That's a problem because the average Usenet client program works with
plain text only. Usenet is a lot older than HTML and the Web.
That means in text newsgroups like this, if you post in HTML, most
people will see a mess and wonder why you're wasting bandwidth. Not
that text newsgroups are much of a load...

I don't understand. The message was sent using Unison 2.0.2 and
Giganews, I haven't changed any settings, I'm not using an email
application.

Pop had been turned off in the settings, it took me a while to find it
out, got there in the end and it's working.

Great!
BTW if you're using Unison 2 then either make sure you hit the "Make
Plain Text" button on the compose window, or set the hidden default to
make everything compose as plain text. Quit Unison and enter this in
Terminal.app:
defaults write com.panic.Unison2 UNPostHTML -bool NO
Hit return. Re-run Unison.

The " Make Plain Text " button is greyed out. I pasted the line into
Terminal and hit return. Hope I have done it right.

Bizarre.
Well, the first post in this thread is unquestionably an HTML email type
message - `a multipart message in bloody marcelmarceau format' and all
that.
<shrug> But what the hell is a dedicated newsreader doing being able to
post in HTML at all? Shouldn't be happening.
Check yer prefs, that's all I can think of. Find the bit that says `Do
HTML posts' and turn it off. If there is no such preference and it
never does it again, find the gremlin and beat it about the head with a
baseball bat that has a nine inch nail through the end of it[1].
Could be that Unison has the manners at least to not post an HTML reply
in an plain text thread.
Rowland.
[1] Gremlins cannot be killed and they cannot feel pain. But you can
slow 'em down a bit sometimes and frankly I find it relieves my feelings
any time I get hold of one the little bastards to give him a good
kicking, the trouble they've caused me...
Chris Ridd
We'll find out when you start a new thread :-) Formatting seems to
"inherit" from what you're replying to, so your reply just now was
plain text because mine was.
