People should just phone you when they send an important email.

Use a filter to forward it to your private wiki

Czesc. Pewnie nic nie zrozumiesz z tego co tu pisze, ale moze bedziesz sie cieszyl ze napisal ci ktos z zagranicy komentarz. Fajny blog :) Milego czytania, papa :*

If you had a Mac and used their mail program and spam filter, you could just check the box which says people in your address book are exempt from spam filtering.

Ross, nice try on turning this into a wiki thing, but I actually want to read it in my email client.

Anonymous, nice try on turning this into a Mac thing, but I'm not looking to exempt a whitelist from filtering. I already take care of that in Outlook. I'm looking for a way to say "When a message from art@linkletter.com comes in, not only don't filter it, but alert me, and then remove art@linkletter.com from the alert list."

Iza, nice try on turning this into a pewnie nic ni zrozumiesz thing. Unfortunately, I don't know what that means.

Umm, how should it alert you? By sending you e-mail? (1/2 :-))

One rim shot goes out to Seth.

But seriously: I'd like the feature to alert me either by color coding the target msg in my inbox or by posting a dialog box that says "Click here to see your msg from ____ ". The dialog box should ask me if I want to continue the alert or if I want to add another.

That's about as far as I got in my VBA-ing of it. I couldn't finish my little project, though, because, if you care - and why would you? - I'd installed the little subroutine as a rule via the Rules Wizard so it's run every time a msg arrives, which is probably inefficient, esp. given the size of my typical spam-wad. But the real problem is that something I'm doing puts OL into a death loop. I'm sure it's something simple that I could fix if I had the sort of overview of how VBA handles scoping that a C student in a freshman computer science class could achieve. I also have a problem having it read the data file once rather than for each message that comes in. Anyway, it's too hard for me.

In Eudora I can set up a standard filter to play a sound, or to speak the Subject line via text-to-speech. Or color the message. Removing the filter item automatically--I don't know about that.

dude, you just need to chill out, and listen to way more Dylan!

"pewnie nic nie zrozumiesz" is for "Ty nie rozumiec tego" [english: you don't understand this, what I wrote].

David, if you give me your e-mail, I'll write to you :)

Please send me Art Linkletter's email address

DOES ANYONE HAVE ART LINKLETTER'S E-MAIL ADDRESS? I NEED TO ASK HIM A FINANCEL QUESTION

I would like to get in touch with Art Linkletter about his son Bob (deceased) who was a good friend in college (Santa Monica City College at that time-1963)I knew Art when I called Bob back when. I need his email or some way to get i touch with him.

Please also let me know if you can contact Art Linkletter. He was born in Moose Jaw, SK. Canada and I have been told that he used to live in the house I now live in. It is a bed & breakfast. I really would like to talk to him to find out more info on his life in Moose Jaw.

Plase let me know his contact information if anyone has it.

Thanks.

Lois

If anyone can get me in touch with Art Linkletter, I have a question to ask him about an episode of house party that featured 3 ladies causing a card table to jump around the stage. It was spooky and it is called "table walking". I have thought about this episode often since I was a kid. I understand that none of his "House Party" episodes are available. I have no way to track this mystery down. Thank you.
