Mail List Procedure Question

I am receiving messages in the digest mode. I see that most replies to topics include the text of the prior message and a modified subject line in the form you would expect when replying to an email. However, there is no way to reply directly to a topic and include the prior text and subject line as far as I know. How can I do this?

Re: Mail List Procedure Question

Lee,

At the bottom of each individual post are links to the mail server. Follow the first link (Elecraft mailing list Home: ...), scroll down a bit to where it asks if you want your mail sent to you in digest form. Click the NO circle and send your updated preference.

You will have to manually cut out all parts of the digest that aren't
relative to the message to which you want to reply. Include only enough of
the message you are replying to for context. You will also have to copy and
paste the subject line from the message in to the Subject line field of the
new message.

Re: Mail List Procedure Question

That is why I believe it is easier to receive the individual emails.
Create an "Elecraft" folder in your email program and set a filter send
everything with [Elecraft] in the subject line to that folder.
You then have your own "digest" and can reply to the individual emails.

Re: Mail List Procedure Question

In reply to this post by Lee Murrah

Lee,

I get the digest too, and the Elecraft reflect includes the messages as
attachments. I'm not sure what email program you're using, as I use
Thunderbird, and it does this.

What I do is if I find a message I want to reply to I look at the list,
get an idea of which message it is in the attachement list and double
click on it. It then comes up as a standard message I can click the
reply button on.

I then delete all other emails listed other than the Elecraft reflector
and add my reply.

This works for me, YMMV.

I monitor the list on Nabble and reply from there like I am doing now.

Re: K2 display

In reply to this post by Frank Krozel

Frank,

The K2 had backlighting since Day 1. You could turn on/off the
backlighting by selecting the menu LCD Nite or Day.
For the K1, it was an option that was developed some time after the K1
was announced.

Re: K2 display

In reply to this post by Don Wilhelm

Is there any way to brighten it up a little? I built #4398 100 years
ago, and it's always seemed a little dim. I can read it fine outside
[backlight off] but in the shack in the daytime, it's pretty dim.

Re: K2 display

Skip,

The backlight is intentionally dim to conserve current draw. You could
reduce Front Panel R10 a bit to make it a bit brighter.

Re: K2 display

OK, I may try paralleling R10 with something. I never operate at night
with green electrons, here in the shack, while the K3 is in the Elecraft
hospital, I'm on thoroughly brown electrons from NV Energy. This may
solve my seeing problem.

Re: K3 Display (Was K2 display)

I think the solution to that particular problem is called the TS590.
Unfortunately it comes with some other compromises.
That said, I think a green display on the K3 would be awesome.

In a similar, slightly humorous vein I wanted to replace some dial lamps
on an old Yaesu with LED's. I had some white LED's and some sandpaper so
set to work creating a degree of diffusion. Happy with the result I did
a couple more and put them in the rig. The horror show started straight
away. The 'white' LED's were in fact multi-colour of the seizure
inducing kind, I guess they must call them rainbow LED's they change
colour fast, then slow, then flash all colours in rapid succession.
Quite the impression but not quite the right effect.

Bob McGraw - K4TAX

Re: K3 Display (Was K2 display)

I suggest to one other to visit the local auto window tint place.   Get
a scrap of light green window tint, cut it to size and put it on the
plastic overlay for the display.    Or if you know someone in the
performance theater circles, get a piece of light gel which they use on
spots.   Easy to put on and easy to remove if you don't care for it.

Re: Mail List Procedure Question

In reply to this post by Lee Murrah

I'm replying to this from the digest!

There are two ways of taking the digest. With good mail programs, the
best way is the MIME digest format. Although the details may vary, good
mail programs will allow you to decompose the digest. In the case of
Thunderbird/Iceweasel, it displays the concatenated messages, with
specially formatted header lines, and provides access to the individual
messages as though they were attachments.

There is a minor bug in that, when replying to a reply, Thunderbird adds
an extra "Re:", but that is easily fixed.

Doing it this way, rather than just editing out the rest of the digest,
has the added advantage that a correct In-Reply-To header is sent, that
can help threading readers.

(What I really hate is where people ignore the warning at the top of
the digest, and simply copy the whole digest, or that part after the
message to which they are responding. That cuts short the next digest
and also forces one to plough through lots of old postings, possibly to
find that the culprit has overflowed the digest size limit and there are
no more real items in the digest.)
