Not as good as nvu.

I agree. NVU is still at the top of the not-so-good class.

The 1st Site links dialog is totally confusing. What was the author
thinking? Maybe his in-laws were visiting or something.

NVU definitely has potential. I hope the developers work as hard on
it as they do on Firebird. The potential for extensions is unlimited.
 
I've played around with 1st Site. The WYSIWYG works well enough, but it's
very confusing when setting up links between pages such as you would for a
typical website.

I tried producing a site with frames. Should be simple enough right - one
left hand frame, numerous right hand frames? This thing produced a
complicated thing with numerous duplicated left hand frames. The links all
worked fine, but it didn't strike me as efficient.

I haven't tossed it yet, as it may have uses. I haven't figured out how NVu
produces frames in the WYSIWYG mode.

What are you guys smokin? ;)
1st site looks like payware, there may be a free version, but it isn't
obvious from the link. 2nd-ly the firewall doesn't appear to be any better
than what I have (Kerio 2.1.5).

Also WTF is NVU or NV??? Completely in the dark on that one.

I just received an email addressed from your listed one above. It
appears to be one of the worms going around. The attachment was named
so that part of my my address was in it:

Encrypted message attached:

document_branded.zip


That's pretty darned clever if a worm figured this out and
manufactured the filename and unspoofed my email address.

You did not send a real email did you?

If not, we seem to be a point of harvest for a worm, or a worm writer.

I looked at it and it was a zipped .pif file. I usually scan them for
valid email and delete the bunch, but I recognized your name. I looked
at some of the others, and sure enough, adding a part of the email
address to the attachment name looks to be in vogue now.

The way these things harvest addresses and send themselves is
impressive to a point. I have a friend who got one sent by him, and he
runs linux <G>.

It appears that either this group is a source of harvest, or an
uncanny coincidence has occurred. Maybe it really is a small world.

I think it's a source of harvest: I received an email from someone angry
with me because I had sent I don't know which attachment from my yahoo.it
address, that I use only on Usenet as a spam trap (for true answers there is
the "reply to:").

I'm not sure exactly how these things work, but I think it is also
possible that anyone who reads the group that executes a worm has all
addresses scanned and utilized from OE to news reader files.

That might be why I got one. Someone that emails me clicked an
attachment and the thing got my unspoofed address. I hope the thing
isn't sending all permutations out anyway.

This happened awhile back with Mavis (I think). Those reading this
group with unspoofed addresses were all sent a worm that appeared to
be a partial news reply from his machine.
