I Did a Really Dumb Thing (So What Else Is New?)

Wow, what an archaic app. I acquired an app that sends my email directly to my brain. Get with the times, marcy.

tee hee.

So, whatcha gonna do about it?

lol!! that's a good one. hmmm, what will i do about it? well, i guess i'd forgotten to mention it to my husband coz he read my blog today and asked me about it, so i guess i should ask him what to do. he's the techie in this house. for now i read everything and hope to god i can remember which ones i've read!

Hey, mjrc. I don't know for sure about this, but I'm going to go with my man-instinct thing here (which is right more often than not, although I don't have any good statistics and won't hold it against you if you say tell me to take a hike) and say that whatever it is that controls whether or not your email program remembers if you have read an email is probably part of the email program itself. So, I would try by (a) rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, (b) uninstall and then reinstall the email program.

Confession: I have some actual experience in this realm. About 10 years ago, maybe a bit longer (ahem), I deleted a file on my harddrive that told the computer where ALL the files were. So, I effectively deleted everything. Including about a year of work on my ph.d. dissertation (which ought to tell you something). I had to completely reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything. Now, I am a fan of back ups and using the "remove software" control panel. Besides, software is so embedded into the operating system these day that you really can't do it any other way.

wre--i keep hoping it will somehow heal itself, you know? so far that doesn't seem to be working! i will ask jay about your suggestion. someday when we're both around and he's in the mood to help me with my stupidity issues! i'm just a user, don'tcha know.

I will ask Shane if he can help tonight... I will let you know. Maybe email me and remind me ;-)

you will be glad to know that my husband fixed the problem by reinstalling the fonts on firefox. but i truly appreciate the offers of help--i'll keep them in mind for the next time i do something dumb! : )
