Script to download entire message from header in entourage

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a script that will automatically start downloading large messages when they arrive in the entourage inbox?

I receive emails that have huge attachments so I need to setup entourage to only received the headers of large messages otherwise I will have many emails queued up on the server behind the large email as it is downloading. Everything works fine but I basically need to download all the emails and attachments eventually anyway, so I have to always manually click on the option to get the rest of the message for all emails.

Contact management options

Hi -

I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about storing contact information for contacts related to a community group.

The basics: I want a digital but not web-based solution allow me to see both a quick list of contacts and have expanded space for details and notes.

Whatever I use needs to be able to export data for other board members and for archiving. I'd love some kind of tagging or other sub-category system. I need this to be $30 at most, free is better.

New Users Can't Register with IE-7

Greetings 43Folders Bug Exterminators! For at least two weeks attempts to register as a new user using IE7 failed; the "operation aborted" error pop-up window appears. I tried using several computers. Ultimately I registered using Firefox so I could post this message; since only registered users can participate on the forums, there was no way to let you know about the problem. If you check your page logs you may see evidence for the above... or try it yourself.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
