How to Recover Opera Mail Accounts and Settings from a Backup Copy
Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:42:00 +0200
If it ain't baroque, fix it.
If your music does not sparkle with emotion only just — but still — kept in check, for instance; if it is not imbued with the steady beat of a dance and lacks a basso continuo; if it does not take advantage of new instruments and is in no way inspired by Italian opera: then baroquisation should be considered.
Speaking of operatic fixes:

1 Week Left: Nominate Now - The About.com 2012 Readers' Choice Awards
Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:41:00 +0200
The coldest place in the universe, until very recently, was probably some 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth and opposite the sun. Now, it may be 1.5 million kilometers from the Earth and opposite the sun.
To look at crisp cosmic background radiation, the Planck space telescope's instruments were about 0.1 K (-273.05 °C or -459.49 °F) warm. Their coolant has run out at the beginning of 2012; the Herschel space telescope's instruments (which look at regions of star formation, asteroids and dust) nearby are still cooled to 0.3 K.
Now, before the nomination period runs out, what do you think are the coolest instruments for email?

How to Open Attachments as a Full-Screen Slideshow in Mac OS X Mail
Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:23:00 +0200
"Get a Sphaerical Cylinder, or Convex diffection of a Pyramidal Concave. Let it be that which may descend upon his right angle by half cylinder and a square, and is parted by an oblique angle."
Got that?
"Of two parts it must be received pendulous, and beneath in the half of its diameter it is conveyed from the middle."
All right! Now make sure the room is dark safe for your image, which — if it is reflected rightly, Giambattista della Porta assures us in a late English translation of his astonishingly brilliant Magiae naturals — will appear to "hang in the air".
Compared to that, Mac OS X Mail's slideshow is rather mundane (if perhaps more readily available) an affair. Make sure your room is lit well, and, reflected justly, your image will appear to hang somewhere behind the monitor — and slideshow:

How to Back Up Your Opera Mail Messages and Settings
Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:37:00 +0200
Silent springs, rhyme French owners of pocket knifes from the Auvergne, live longer: "ressort silencieux vivra vieux".
When a beautiful and functional Laguiole knife snaps shut, its blade could be hurt (were there no spring stopper to protect it). So, the respectable Laguiole owner will use two hands and much care to shut the knife.
Opera has a spring stopper to protect your emails from harm, of course. The respectable owner will use two hands and much deliberation, though, to create another layer of safety:

Is a thief on the other side? Or a genie perhaps?
The gang leader, in any event, calls a name, and the cave's mouth pops open like a sesame seed. "Open, simsim!" must be the magic phrase! — Until, of course, one of the forty or so changes the password:

How to Validate Email Addresses with HTML5
Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:16:00 +0200
"Use abbr instead," say the instructions.
The "acronym" tag, part of HTML standards (and, occasionally, use) since 1997, is no longer valid for marking out and explaining acronyms in HTML5. It's the "abbr" tag all over.
Now, every acronym is arguably as much an abbreviation as "abbr." is. Not every string keyed into an HTML form needs to be a valid email address, though.
Valid in HTML 5, a special input type in text's stead makes the browser check for validity:

How to Delete an Email from Gmail "Sent Mail" But Keep a Copy in "All Mail"

Have you got the butter? Now if you also still had the money used to buy the butter, that would be proverbially swell, would it not?
To lend the French expression avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre (to have the butter and the butter monies), which, astonishingly, seems to be not even 100 years old, additional grease, "beurre" is also an old-fashioned slang expression for money.
In any event, Gmail lets you delete your sent email and have it, too:
