I was with you Do . . . up until "Bullshit!" Feel free to call me
corny, but I do think that for _some people_ (not me, not you,
probably not most of the folk reading this NG) anything COMPUTER has
to be dumbed down. And, really, I don't even like my choice of words
("dumbed" down) because it implies a value judgment. My gram was born
in a completely different era, but it's because I love her so much
that I will bend over backwards to make her computer screen act as
much like a television set as possible lol. Okay, you can laugh. Her
remote control is her mouse; her TV screen is her monitor.
IT WORKS ha ha.
But I didn't report back in for no reason guys, I actually found a
solution and I thought I'd pass it on.
I located a program called "HANDY MAILER" http://www.bulkemailsoft.com
and it is a lovely email program that not only works, for someone like
me who might send the staggering volume of nine HTML-EMAILS a year to
my grandmother, it generously allows me to use the program without
having to pay for it.
I put it through its paces and rifled off a dozen or so emails just to
assure myself that the HTML that I imported into Handy Mailer didn't
suffer a "sex change" upon being pulled into Calypso. They function
exactly as they would on an html page, and she has a big BEAUTIFUL
area to click on to get to me. :)
I'd better not hear a peep out of her dammit lol.
