Removing duplicate mail messages
by Chris Green 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

I'm shortly aiming to merge a load of mail messages, they stored in various different mbox hierarchies. It should be pretty easy to write a little script to simply merge all the files in the same place in the hierachy together but then I'll need to remove duplicate messages as I know quite large chunks will be the same messages which have been stored in different places. Are there any tools out there which will take a mbox file and remove duplicate messages? Removal on the basis of Message-Id: would be fine. -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."

Apple-Intel.

Apple X86? Why??? What's wrong with Motorola? Linux users switching to OSX (Unix) - again why? You guys seem to have a strong grip on Linux with bags of O/S to choose and run, and WINE already available to you for your Win apps why bother with OSX?

GnuCash
by Stuart Bailey 07 Jun '05

I'm have been using GnuCash 1.8.8 for the last 9 months for my business accounts. My accountant has just ask me for my account in a spreadsheet format - I'd be happy with CSV. I can't find anyway in GnuCash to export to anything other than xml. Is there anyway to export to spreadsheet - even via a third party tool? Many thanks, Stuart. -- --------------------------------------- Stuart Bailey BSc (hons) CEng CITP MBCS LinuSoft (Proprietor) Linux Specialist (01953) 601294 (07778) 383739 http://www.linusoft.co.uk ---------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential.

Ubuntu opinions
by Jenny Hopkins 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi List, A friend of mine is trying out Ubuntu linux. I know there are some ALUG members who have tried Ubuntu and rave about it enthusiastically (you know who you are :-)) Anyway, I said I would ask what is so great about it and what the general opinion is and how it differs from, say, debian. Thanks, Jenny
