Note the time shown in the message header is different to the time in the listing. Also that they repeat and change in blocks. The time in the listing is also wrong, at least it is for the yesterdays message and so I suspect for the others as well. Yesterday when it only displayed the time i seem to feel that it was correct, but it's to late to check it now. Also the listing dates and times for Jan and Feb are identical, which I think is wrong. It only seems to be a problem in the meeting notification messages. Ian's normal messages seem to be shown correctly. Anyway I've wasted enough time on this. Dennis.

It use to be all automated but then the auto ran out. It's on my todo list, along with a lot of other things I have really ment to do, but as I get older, the bigger the list grows :o) I've also tried doing it via Googel Calendar/GMail but it will only do it for me, I cant get it to send the reminders to the list, and I rarelt check my gmail, so I didnt get back to that one either. I could do it now but my eye balls are stressing, and well, tomorrow will have its own problems to keep me busy.

Hi Ed. Doug. This is coming to you (if we're really lucky), from a Vodafone 3G modem/donle thing through the IBM Thinkpad R40 via a Netcomm 3GT1 Portable Router, in fixed LAN Mode. It will be interesting to see if this makes it to OS2Genau. It's taken a bit of a fight to get here, but the secret seems to be to set it in LAN mode, to get the modem to do it's thing with the 3G Dongle, then to fire the computer up. As I write, this is going back to "green" which might mean GPRS strength, or no connection at all. Probably doesn't help to live at the foot of the Darling Ranges, in Perth, either :-) Well, here goes. Open the manual and configure the Wireless bit tomorrow.
