Thanks!
I tried it and I'm getting the following error.

Any idea what might be causing this?

This means that communication with DNS server is wrong somehow... try
emailing other email... Try emailing me at soapdog at mac.com, we know
that .Mac SMTP server is friendly enough for this to work. Then report
back here! :D

If the sites are dormant than I'm unclear about the usefulness of
creating a new category for them.
You can add them to the main Transcript listing with the word "FRENCH"
as the first word in all caps to help other French speakers find it easily.
If enough sites are out there discussing Transcript in French you can
suggest to the category manager that a new sub-category be added.

Andre,
Now I'm getting:
error: server was offended by our HELO Message.
Does this mean that the program won't work with my email server
because it is looking for Authentication?
Thanks in advance.

Among other things, yes... It might be failing due to an auth error or
because your server is making a reverse lookup on the DNS database to
see if you're an "blessed" SMTP server for the domain you claim to be.
That stack and it's sendmail routines were created to enable a
simple-no-fuss way to make apps that report back errors and feedback
reports to a central or to solve everyday trouble. It's aimed at
sending email without the need of entering account information. If you
own an eMail account and are willing to use it to send email in a more
polite way, like sending it to your SMTP server then trusting your SMTP
server to talk to the destination SMTP server then you should use Shao
Sean libEmail and libSMTP stacks.
I just create a quick stack for the possible scenario where a user do
not know it's own account info and yet you need to send email. It's not
a all-situations-solved solution.
you might try telneting your email server on port 25 and trying to use
it by hand... to see what the problem is...

Hi,
I seem to be unable to type things like ümlaut and çedilla in the
fields in my application (Arial font). I can paste them in, but I
can't type them. Any ideas what is going wrong? RunRev 2.2.
Thanks,

Subject: What Is Triggering The Menu?
To: How to use Revolution
Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
On OSX, I set up a menu with 1, 2 and 3 as command keys for one of the menu
buttons. When pressing the keys on the keyboard, the menu flashes as if
triggered, but no menuPick message is generated and the menu does nothing.
If I change the command keys to letters, for example, the menuPick message
is sent and the menu operates as expected. How can I use numbers as command
key equivalents for menu options?
Thanks & Regards,

You will get different messages from Apple with each case you present,
to different folks and at different times. When i have pressed a
question they have usually ended up reverting to the letter of the
license instead of waiving stuff. This has come up for me about a dozen
times over the last decade. It was really funny when I did the Earth
Explorer CD-ROM with them years ago (the first disc in Apple's ill
fated CD-ROM publishing attempt), when these question came up it went
around and around w/in apple for about two weeks before i got any
straight answers. That was the early days of QT so it was all new...
I understand what Apple is trying to do and dont really disagree with
it. Its just that you should read the agreement carefully and make sure
your app can play w/in the rules so you dont get a client in dutch
later if something was out of bounds or the client wants to do
something different later. And I have to admit I have not looked at the
qt license in the last 4-6 months since the question last came up! In
looking at it they have simplified it some, but it still has this
clause:
"Each Licensee Product must require End-Users not having QuickTime 6 on
their computers to install the QuickTime Software using the QuickTime
Installer."
they have dropped the installer stuff they use to have.
cheers,
jeff

Yes, check the history of this problem (one of my posts of 2/4). The
Application Browser didn't even "see" that there was a substack there.

The IDE traps for these and uses them to navigate around the stack.
Could it be that the IDE is intercepting your menu commands? If your
stack is frontmost and its menubar is showing, then that shouldn't
happen of course.

Frank's suggestion of blendLevel (with perhaps a transparent and/or
primary-coloured overlay) is probably your best hope for a quick solution.
Part of the solution SHOULD be binaryEncode/binaryDecode - but
unfortunately they are currently limited in what they can do (without
any obvious reason why they need to be). I'm planning to submit an
enhancement request in this area - and thought I'd run a draft by the
list to see if there are any suggestions.
Enhancement suggestion for binaryEncode/binaryDecode
1. Provide explicit "big-endian" and "little-endian" integer codes.
binaryEncode/Decode provide codes for host order ('s', 'S', 'i', 'I')
and network-order ('n', 'N'). However, some file formats (notably EXIF
metadata in JPG and other photo formats) specify the byte-order as
big-endian or little-endian, so can only be decoded by building in
knowledge of the endian-ness of the host (and in the case of big-endian
hosts such as PPC, there is no way to do a little-endian integer
(en)decode).
2. Bulk conversion.
binaryDecode could provide a mechanism to easily convert a block of
