Attachment Scanner Plugin

Paul Westbrook | 21 August, 2006 22:22

Have you ever sent an email intending to attach a file, but forgot to actually include the document.  The Attachment Scanner Plugin will help to solve this problem.  When you press Send, it scans the message to see if you mention a file or an attachment, and didn't actually attach the file, and will present a dialog warning you.

MailTags 2.0

Paul Westbrook | 21 August, 2006 21:29

mailTagsIcon.jpg A while ago, I wrote about MailTags.  At that point it didn't work with IMAP accounts, so I couldn't use it.  MailTags 2.0 is now in public beta, which adds IMAP support.  It adds "X-MailTags" headers to the messages to keep the tag information.

I am hoping that I can use this to help keep track of the emails that I currently just "Mark As Flagged", for software that I need to upgrade, or other things that I need to be reminded of.

OCR for SpamAssassin

Paul Westbrook | 21 August, 2006 20:54

I have been getting pretty annoyed with the image spam that has been getting through my mail filters.  These are some interesting emails.  They generally include an image of some text at the top of the email, and then a bunch of random text (In one case, the text was related to resumé writing and English as a second language)

I saw this page that describes how to setup an optical character recognition (OCR) SpamAssassin plugin to help identify these spam messages.  This plugin uses gocr uses as the OCR engine.  I have set this up, and will see how well it stops these messages from getting through.

iPhotoToGallery

Paul Westbrook | 21 August, 2006 01:32

I needed to upload a bunch of photos from vacation to our web gallery.  Normally I would export the files from iPhoto to the desktop, and then upload them ti Gallery through the web interface.  This would take to long for over 100 photos.

I reinstalled iPhotoToGallery, and it worked very well.  (Unfortunately with our broadband upload speed, it is taking  while.)
