[gentoo-user] OT: website design

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Off-topic, I know (sorry)!, but I hope someone will have an answer.

Are there any mapping tools for Linux that can be given a URL and produce a 
diagram showing all the internal connections (links) between its pages?

I don't know of an all-in-one to do that, but you can probably use a
tool that spiders a website to get all of the page relationships, then
run it through graphviz to make it look pretty.

There's something wrong with your mailer, it's doing weird stuff with line 
breaks. Please fix it.

Do you want to create a sitemap or to check the validity of current links?

Sun Java mail suite (client and server) have been mangling e-mail
messages for years. It's probably his ISP's web-based e-mail solution.
The only "fix" is to use something else.

So it's like that Java-based gmail client for smartphones? The one that can 
only top posts and gives the user no way to do it otherwise.

<sigh> what is the world coming to....

I thought *every* mail client for smart phones did that, these days, and that we on this list had gone from being a bunch of intolerant geek assholes (genuinely not looking at anyone specific here) who could not accept top-posting under any circumstances to permitting it from those devices.

What I would like to know is why some threads get broken up?  My mail 
client here follows these conversations as threads.  For some reason, 
recently the threads are getting broken as if someone started a fresh one.

I'm sure this is not intentional and may not be avoidable but it makes 
it difficult to follow the conversation.

Is the same happening for others or is it just picking on me?

Blimey!

I'm so glad you mentioned it.

Having recently moved to a new mail client (major version) I assumed it was just me that was experiencing this problem.

No it's not just you. I'm seeing thread fragmentation too.

I have threading set by headers and by subject line and it still happens. So 
someone is using a mail client that changes subject lines.

K9, it defaults to top-posting, but you can change it. However, you can't
edit the text you are quoting, so it is still rather top-posting-centric.

I don't see the point of editing a quote actually :-)

Unless you mean reformatting it to still fit in 78 columns

Oh there a many uses for that. Replying to specifig parts of a quote for
example.

> Unless you mean reformatting it to still fit in 78 columns

I edit quotes nearly by every anwser, to delete parts of the quote that
are unneeded so it is easier and better to read. Fullquotes are, in my
eyes, nearly as bad as top posting.
