I can't access any mail through pop3now but I can access all of my accounts through Squirrel Mail.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Works for me, too. Thanks.

And by simultaneously, do they mean all really at once? or in one second? or in a minute?

FYI - I am heading home. If the board breaks in the next 30-45 minutes...well, I'll be in my car. I'll check in when I get home and let you know if I have anything new to report.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Huh. ita, is there anything I can do re: tedious work of adding some sort of a closed tag at the ends of bajillions of lines? If it's something like that, I'd whimper and whine a lot, but since my cat is the only living creature who can hear it, why not chuck it my way?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a back-burner kind of feature request -- it would make vote-counting infinitely easier if the responses could be put on the subject line of the email in addition to the body text.

(So, instead of "Buffista Ballot," the subject line could be "Buffista Ballot - Yes." Like that.)

(And I just realized that not every vote has a single answer, which could screw things up, so, hm. Maybe this isn't such a good idea.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

If someone reminds me the next time we have a single issue ballot, I'd be happy to do that. It's an easy change.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I think it would be easy enough to do for multi-issue ballots, too. Just seperate them with a semi-colon and a space, or something.

But with multi-ballots, it wouldn't make the counting any easier, because sorting by subject would only group the first vote together.

But for single ballots, it would make sorting and counting a snap.

It would make it so you didn't have to open every email to find out what they voted, is all.
