For
2009!
Mokum Mail version 7! This excellent (and fun) software
will become indispensable to you once you have tried it. I don't know
how I ever lived without it. I've been beta-testing
MM (Mokum Mail)
for almost 10 years and I can verify that it is the handiest program I
have ever used. MM can operate as a stand
alone Email program, or in conjunction with Outlook Express.
It will allow you to download your email headers while they are still on your
server instead of downloading messages to your computer. What a great
way to get rid of spam and virus-containing emails instead of storing
them on your PC. Messages can be read in safe, plain text mode, or open
them in MM's Browser or even with your default mailer such as OE.
But wait...there is more - much more. Mokum Mail
is also a fantastic software for creating fancy stationery emails, with
all kinds of tables, scrolling backgrounds, marquees, tag line tickers,
and a whole lot more than I have room to write about here - all done
automatically at the "touch of a button". You don't need to know
anything about HTML or scripting. In addition, MM
allows you to "snag" graphics, midis, scripts, etc. from incoming emails
and use them for yourself.
Perhaps best of all, Mokum Mail also has the most comprehensive and well
illustrated Help section of any software I know of. Select the Info key
and you can find out anything you need to know quickly and easily.
I do not have any financial ties
to Mokum Mail but I do know the clever creator, Joop Blokker, and can
tell you that he is a really great programmer - in addition to being a
really great guy. Mokum Mail cannot be beat for convenience, as well as
creativity - and the low price of the registered version gives you a lot
of "bang for your buck".
There are so many fabulous new features. See for yourself! Go to
http://www.mokummail.nl and find
out what you have been missing. Be sure to click on the "Features" tab
there to see more details about what Mokum Mail can do. Also, read the
PC Active review which details the program in a very favorable manner.
P.S. For registered users, there is now a special MOKUM MAIL USERS web
site with a growing list of tutorials and tips and tricks.

One more thing.....There are over a thousand FREE
beautiful and fun MM format stationeries by the most creative people in
the world, which can be downloaded
MMF

Effective January 1st,
2009, you can obtain a free version of Mokum Mail LITE for unlimited
use. This is a slimmed down version of Mokum Mail. FREEWARE Mokum Mail
LITE is ideal for the user who likes to send no-nonsense "plain text"
messages BUT it has maintained some extra HTML features - like sending a
photo IN your message - and lots more as well. The LITE version can be
used indefinitely and is absolutely FREE.
Of course I must absolutely
recommend PaintShopPro, the software I primarily use for
creating my Outlook Express stationery, and which to my mind is the best
graphics program in its' price range. It has too many features to list
here, but you can read all about it and download a 30-day free trial
version at http://www.jasc.com/
.
If you are looking for a really
great free graphics program, try 20/20 which can be downloaded at
http://www.hotfreeware.com/ .
This program has many excellent features for handling graphics and
costs you nothing. I use it for several purposes including its easy
tiling feature. The author, Keith, is very helpful and gives good
support.
IrfanView at
http://www.irfanview.com
is a terrific program. IrfanView is a very fast FREEWARE (for non-commercial
use) 32-Bit graphic viewer for Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows NT and
Windows 2000. Some features: Thumbnails, Preview, Drag & Drop
Support, fast Directory View (fast moving through directory), Print
Support, Scan (TWAIN) Support, Slideshow, Batch conversion, change the color depth, audio CD
player, Capturing, Cut/Crop, Effects (Blur, Sharpen etc.) and much, much
more. It supports every conceivable extension possible.
One favorite
application for personal use, is called PC Study
Bible, by
Biblesoft. It is by far the most thorough and comprehensive Bible
software I have come across. I have been using it since the first DOS
version about 10 years ago. Now, it is an exhaustive, Windows based,
interactive powerhouse. It has so many fabulous features that I would be
hard put to do them justice with my descriptions. Please visit their web
site at http://www.biblesoft.com/
and see what they have to offer. You will find it well worth your time.

Not all
Colloidal Silver generators are created equal.
For the best, shop at Silver Edge.

effective antimicrobial agents known to man. It is clinically proven to
kill over 600 pathogens including forms of bacteria, funguses, and
viruses. Can be used safely, simply, and inexpensively in both humans
and animals.

A really fun and inexpensive
program is Twinkle Bulbs. Twinkle Bulbs is a 32-bit desktop accessory
program for Windows, which allows you to display flashing, colorful
holiday lights on or around your Windows desktop. You can
select various bulb sets and colors for the bulbs, add background music
and configure a built-in screen saver (configurable with many modules). The program download comes with
several music files and 33 bulbs sets (of which 20 are enabled for
unlicensed users). Please note that this program is not free. You
may evaluate, but if you decide to keep it, please license your copy. It
is well worth the very small registration fee. You can find out more and
download the trial software at http://www.twinklebulbs.com/
If you are in the market for computer RAM
or other memory products, be sure and check out the SMS Group
Inc. They specialize

anywhere. Absolutely dependable and will stand behind their products 100%. They

For a site full of beautiful poetry and lovely backgrounds, go see the
pages put up by my precious friend, Barbara Sue, at
http://www.geocities.com/sunnysugar99/index.html.
It is called "Angels and Poems". Barbara Sue has done an excellent job of
creating an uplifting and inspiring web site, and her loving nature and
caring attitude comes shining through.
Be sure to visit a lovely site called "Christian Poetry", at
http://www.angelfire.com/tx2/christianpoetry/
put together by Tina Parr. It is filled with beautifully presented and
inspiring poems, funny stories, and even a daily cartoon. If you look closely, you will find some of Diana's
Stationery on a few of her pages. :-)
If you like
good modern art, you will love the various and wondrous works of artist
H J Bott. Although Bott has achieved
critical acclaim (see
review of his latest exhibition), you don't need to be an expert to
appreciate his clean lines and creative applications. Take a look at
some of his pieces on display at
Sicardi Gallery in Houston, Texas. You will be very glad you did.
Some of the most beautifully
sequenced midis I have ever heard have been rendered by David Lovell. Go

Version 2.0 Email Saver Xe is now available. This utility
is designed to easily create a backup or archive file of your mail data
from your favorite Email Client, which may easily be restored when
necessary. It supports the top 9 Mail Clients such as Outlook Express
(
5.x and 6.0 ), Microsoft Outlook, Eudora ( Pro and Light ) and IncrediMail. It allows you to backup and restore your messages, address
book, settings, mail and news accounts, message rules, blocked senders
lists and the signatures. All backup functions can be processed either
separately or together and the user can choose the identity to save or
restore data.
The AutoBackup feature allows you to backup
your important data daily, weekly or at any time period of your choice.
You can backup data on one computer and restore on another, thus making
Email Saver not just a backup utility but also a synchronization tool.
The program is easy to use and has a simplified user interface, in the
form of a wizard, very useful for beginners. The user interface is
multilingual: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and
Romanian.
I have this program and it works very well.
