it answers most usual questions.

   You may not want to install it as the master boot record (MBR) of your hard
   disk in its own managed partition (partition protected by setting the IDE
   max address of the hard disk) if you are using an older 2.4 Linux kernel
   because those kernel had a bug where, when the IDE max address is set, the
   Linux IDE system thinks the disk has 1 (i.e. one) sector (i.e. the total
   size of the hard disk is then believed to be 512 bytes - that is a bug).

   Note that I have never seen a case where - if a problem appear following a
   hard disk install - the uninstall checkbox on the menu did not perfectly
   work and restore a perfect system, at least since v0.8. Version 0.9 is
   needed for newer 2.6 Linux kernels.

Linux mail and HTML

   Haim Kalderon ([65]HaimK from sitqad.co.il)
   Question by (ben-fuzzybear from yahoo.com)
   Answered By Brian Bilbrey

   Hello Ben, 

   I read your article at [66]http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue92/okopnik.html,
   and was wandering if you can review the following: 

     I'm now moving major application from Windows to Linux server.

   The application used blat mailing software. 

   Until here no problem, because I can work with Linux mail instead. 

   But the Windows blat had a flag to send mail in html format... maybe you
   know of an equivalent to send mails from Linux using the mail command? 

   Appreciate your help, 

   Haim 

     [Brian] Hello Haim,

     Create a text file that contains your email. It should look like an email
     message, with headers on individual lines, etc:

    To: you@example.com
    From: me@example.com
    Reply-To: me-too@example.com
    Subject: Test HTML message

     Make sure that one of headers is Content-Type, like this:

     Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

     That tells the email client to render the text stream that it receives as
     HTML. Note that there are many options for charset - use the one that's
     appropriate  for  your target audience (common alternatives are the
     ISO-8859-n charsets). Also note that it doesn't help you when receivers of
     the  email  explicitly  don't parse HTML mail, or have filters that
     preferentially mark HTML email as likely spam. But, ranting aside, we
     continue...

     Then in the body of your email,

    
         [your content]
    

     All  of  that  is  in  a  text file (or composed on the fly by your
     application), either way, redirected into the sendmail binary for mailing:

     sendmail you@example.com < sample_message.htm

     [Brian]

> To:
> <ben-fuzzybear@yahoo.com>

     Ben FuzzyBear, eh? Is that your Animist Native American / Aleut moniker?

     [Ben] Old nickname coined by an x-gf due to a number of my bear-like
     characteristics - mostly my hairy chest and my ability to substitute for a
     room heater or an electric blanket... but 'twas long ago, far away, and
     the account is essentially dead.

Converting Mailman's text archives to mbox

   Benjamin A. Okopnik ([67]ben from linuxgazette.net)
   Question by The Linux Gang , Heather , (star from starshine.org)

     This was true of our mailman, which is a rather basic configuration at the
     time this tip was put together, so it should do just as well for anyone
     else who hasn't indulged in heavy modifications to mailman. Ah, python...
     -- Heather

   Is the archive tarball not in mbox format? I'm writing this off-line so I
   can't  check,  but let me know if it's not - I've done header mangling
   before,  specifically  converting some weird format into mbox, so I'll
