Is it possible to customize the colors in backtalk? Whenever I used to
read Agora using the pistachio interface, it used to have a very nice
color scheme. Then, today, for no apparent reason, the background color
changed to a kind of weird pale green that totally clashes with the
green color of the buttons and it is icky. I want to change the
background color back to the nice muted yellow it was before. Can I do
that?

The mail forwarding was an unlucky combination of spam & anti-spam
duelling it out, with grex's mqueue being the battle ground. People
regularly set up giant mailing lists and forward them through grex, and
we delete them almost as regularly when we notice them -- usually
network lag gives them away. Lynx breaking is because I had to reboot
the machine the web proxy was running on, in order to get grex running
again, and didn't know that the web proxy doesn't (or didn't)
automatically restart. I understand it's fixed now, and it's not really
related to the e-mail fit, it was just there lurking to strike when
least expected, and I walked into it. I'm not sure why other ran out of
filespace; doesn't seem to be shortage just now and certainly /etc/motd
isn't that big.

Re 83: Oops, I installed a new version of Backtalk today and didn't copy
over all the Grex configurations. I'll fix it.

Perhaps the 'group' of /etc/motd is wrong?

I think that's right. I put the board officers in the MOTD. I'm currently
in group staff, though, which is why I could do that.

Isn't /etc/motd supposed to be owned by group motd so that members of
group motd have write access to it?

Which is right? That the wrong group is associated with /etc/motd, or that
the 'staff' group is associated with /etc/motd?
If 'staff' is the right group for /etc/motd, then what is the motd group for?
(Just out of curiousity, mind you. ;)

Well, the motd group is supposed to be the group of people who have write
access to /etc/motd. This group, for various reasons, is not equivalent to
staff.

I believe /etc/motd should be owned by group motd. I will send mail to
staff about it.

Hm, I see that /etc/motd is now owned by group motd and writeable
by group, so somebody fixed it. Possibly Marcus, since mdw seems
to be the file owner now...

I am curious to know if anyone else has been receiving multiple
unsolicited e-mail from a "Free Stuff Queens" list at this host.
Although I have indicated a willingness to file suit against the
owner of the domain, developingdots.com, and also have received
notice indicating my address has been unsubscribed, I continue
to receive multiple copies of the same unsolicited mail.

pine config question ... while i prefer mail to pine (or
outlook express, eudora, etc.) there are times when attachments
are sent adn i use pine to handle that.
so, i created a different directory into which to send email that
needs pine's attention.
although pine does what i want, it starts with an error message
pine
bad context no '[' in context: /path/to/inbox
from setup (reflected in .pinerc)
personal-name = <No Value Set: using "TS Taylor">
user-domain = <Value is Fixed>
smtp-server = <No Value Set>
nntp-server = <No Value Set>
inbox-path = /a/t/s/tsty/pine/INBOX
folder-collections = /a/t/s/tsty/pine/
news-collections = <No Value Set>
incoming-archive-folders = <No Value Set>
pruned-folders = <No Value Set>
default-fcc = <No Value Set: using "">
default-saved-msg-folder = <No Value Set: using "saved-messages">
postponed-folder = <No Value Set: using "postponed-msgs">
read-message-folder = <No Value Set>
so, what is 'context' wehre is there aupposed to be '[' (the
open bracket) and how do i "set values" coreectly to change
(i guess) system defaults where 'using' "whatver" is not explicit?

Well, here is what I see in my .pinerc:
} # List of directories where saved-message folders may be. First one is
} # the default for Saves. Example: Main {host1}mail/[], Desktop mail\[]
} # Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
} folder-collections=IMAP Server {g.imap.itd.umich.edu}mail/[],
} IFS home directory mail/[]
}
} # List, only needed if nntp-server not set, or news is on a different host
} # than used for NNTP posting. Examples: News *[] or News *{host3/nntp}[]
} # Syntax: optnl-label *{news-host/protocol}[]
} news-collections=
However, I don't see a way to set the [] in Config/Setup. Could be because
I'm looking at Pine 4.33

TS, look at your .pinerc with less and with Pine's config

The usual culprits are 'load', which can be checked with the "uptime" command
(in picospan, !uptime at the nearest prompt), and 'network traffic', which
I've not found a way to check from grex (the usual tools are
disabled/restricted because of their usefulness to Bad Guys (TM)).

uhhh, re 100, 101 ... that looks like the um pine stuff although there
is some similarity. and , i *have* looked with both less and setup
NumerousTimes (tm) trying to figure this out.
does your .pinerc explicitly state:
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}optnl-directory-path[]
folder-collections=IMAP Server {g.imap.itd.umich.edu}mail/[],
IFS home directory mail/[]
(the first-column braces are indent chars, i presume)

for the record, .pinerc states:
# Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox
# Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER).
inbox-path=/a/t/s/tsty/pine/INBOX
###################### Collections, Folders, and Files #####################
# List of incoming msg folders besides INBOX, e.g. ={host2}inbox, {host3}inbox
# Syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-host-name}folder-path
incoming-folders=
and there are no [] indicated anywhere ???????????????????

Yup; that's a copy-and-paste from my current .pinerc. Here's what shows
on grex:

{Elision of remainder. JLG.}
That's all I know.
