Two software-related questions

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

  1. I read my e-mail through Netscape directly off the server, so I can’t open attachments at all. Sometimes the subject line of a message has an extra hyperlink pop up over it, leading to an HTML attachment which is useless to me. I can’t open the message because the useless link obscures the useful one. Can I get rid of the extra link? Is there something my friends can do to stop their mail programs from sending me HTML attachments?

  2. My RSI is acting up again, leading me to wonder if there are any really good voice-activated word-processors in existence yet. I need something to which I can dictate everything I write. Does anyone know of anything?

Re: 1. - Yes. Have your friends send non-HTML enabled mail to you. I have a couple of friends I have to do this for. Alternately, sign up for a free email service that will let you read HTML-enabled mail - Hotmail does. If your mail is POP mail, you can pick it up through hotmail and be able to read the HTML content.

  1. Can’t help you with that one.

How about if you save the message & read it offline?

  1. Try right clicking the attachment, selecting save as, then viewing them off your hard drive.

  2. There is nothing on the market that I lknow off that is reliable and does not require shouting. Sorry.

That was the first thing I tried. Doesn’t work.

What kind of attachment is it? JPG? BMP? HTML?
