(My name is Ivan Zakharyaschev, Иван Захарьящев, imz.)
research on HOW TO do x
I'm posting my experience and thoughts:
- /mini-research on HOW TO edit received messages (which MUAs can and which MUAs cannot do this: edit the subject and insert comments)
- /mini-research of mail clients w.r.t. to specific features: IMAP, editing of received messages, searching
- /research on HOW TO backup an IMAP account (better and worse ways to do it)
some random small plans, TODOs
- to figure out what's the source of a problem with xine-ui: xine-ui's menu (invoked with button 3) shows spaces instead of Russian letters in any Russian locale
- (on my "dell" system, where I have been doing single package upgrades, never a dist-upgrade).
- I believe it's a problem of a library or a font xine-ui uses (transitively), but which one? The versions of xine-ui or libxine don't seem to matter; BTW, on another my system ("vaio"), there's no such problem; the X server which xine connects to also doesn't matter.
- Workaround: gxine or vlc (and these are also the ultimate choice of a DVD viewing program--they have saner UIs; although I'm going to forget xine-ui, I'm still worried about the problem with Russian letters in the menu, because this problem can appear in another program).
