Max Programming, LLC - eMail Bounce Handler v1.2 January, 15 2003
Maxprog is proud to present a new eMail Bounce Handler update. eMail Bounce
Handler is Maxprog bounce e-mail filtering and handling tool.
Overview
Bounce e-mail (sometimes referred to as bounce mail) is electronic mail
that is returned to the sender because it cannot be delivered for some
reason. Unless otherwise arranged, bounce e-mail usually appears as a new
note in your inbox. E-mail users can encounter bounce e-mail because an
addressee has changed his or her address, because their mail box is full,
because the note is misaddressed, or for some other reason.
Bounce e-mail can be handled by a program when sending e-mail to a list and
most e-mail distribution list vendors include this capability. Such a
bounce handler can retry later, unsubscribe the addressee from the list, or
take some other action.
Maxprog has developed eMail Bounce Handler, a bounce e-mail filtering and
handling tool that recognizes bounce e-...

TypeIt4Me for Mac OS X Debuts
Hello and Happy New Year.
My name is Riccardo Ettore and I've been writing Mac software since 1985
when I released the freeware desktop clock, BigBen. Then came SoundMover,
IBeep2, SndControl and Sounds4Fun. I am Italian, but was born in Egypt and
currently live in London after spending 19 years in Belgium.
Back in 1989, I released a piece of software called TypeIt4Me and I am
quite confident that your readers, listeners or viewers would be well
pleased to discover it, since many users tell me they just cannot live
without it.
So what exactly is TypeIt4Me? As Mister Spock would put it:
"It's autotext, Jim, but not as we know it!"
With TypeIt4Me, more text is typed with fewer keystrokes.
YES, it's like autotext/autocorrect, BUT TypeIt4Me works in ALL
applications, not just one.
YES, macro utilities can type text 4 u, BUT TypeIt4Me lets you define
meaningful abbreviations, so you can type them naturally, as part of your
writing, without memorizing - or reaching for - obscure ctrl-cmd-...
