I've now moved from my old webspace at the Open Computing Facility (at the University of California at Berkeley) to space on a server that Leonard controls. So this is a test post to mark the divergence of those old archives and this now-canonical space for the blog at harihareswara.net (redirecting from brainwane.net once the DNS propagates, etc.).

Let's have some useful content to keep it interesting: let's say you're using Mozilla Thunderbird as an email client, perhaps on Ubuntu Linux, and let's say you want your email replies to include the date of the email you're replying to. I found this tip helpful:

1. use the Edit: Preferences dialog box
2. go to Advanced
3. click the advanced configuration editor
4. type 'reply' into the filter box to search for configuration entries that include the string 'reply'
5. click on the reply header type line
6. double click that
7. change 1 to 2
8. close/OK all the windows, you should be set
