/only is not good - then ppl will see one each other ...

there is also bcc field available - meaning blind-copy ... in such 
case, you send it with all adresses just once to the server, server 
sends it to each recipient, but they will not see one each other, 
just some "recipient" string or something like that ...

what about putting your send function in an attempt block?

Pekr, it actually didn't do a list. Instead it sent individual emails. 
Also I probed send and there is a '/show'' option that will replace 
the to: address. checking...

how to obey timesouts in general, try following:


either none? attempt [conn: open http://www.rebol.au][print "not 
connected"][print "connected"]

OK, thanks.

alhough I am used to use if not error? try [ .....]

... as 'attempt is functions available from some older core versions 
...

but there were cases , where I failed even inside of 'try block, 
maybe if function contains other functions, dunno ... I am really 
not an expert in all that throwing errors principles ... Ladislav 
or other folks here will do much better service to you :-)

OK, I can't seem to get the show to shove the to: address in but 
I'll keep at it.

then use /header refinement and construct header yourself ...

Well I'm doing each mail individually and it seems to slow that way.

Anyway, setting header/to: none works but it puts the entire list 
there as you mentioned. Hmmm, maybe I have to do it individually.

thanks.

Just wondering how one matches a GUI like VID to an asynchronous 
data source. I am thinking of building a mulit tab panel application 
with an asynchronous backend.  If the user requests some data on 
one screen, and then changes their mind by switching to another screen, 
what does one do with the data when it arrives?  Does one refresh 
the original screen request and move focus from where the user switched 
to ?

Or,  say there is a chat window as part of the application.  How 
does one refresh the chat window without losing the focus on whatever 
the user is currently doing?

maybe some kind of feedback? requester would be to heavy, some blinking 
light "new data"? think of the red in altme-groups

Hmm.

I guess it depends upon whether the updating of the display grabs 
focus or not.

what triggers the data? somebody else like with altme, or more like 
a browser?

well, the data will be sent if there is a chat like aspect to it.

and also if the user requests it.

overlooked your second post. its about relayouting and keeping focus?

maybe I can do it like Altme.

change the colour of the tab for the panel that is updated.

MikeL, I think the problem is as you suspect. Whenever you WAIT for 
something (in your case MySQL), you are also waiting for view events. 
Your view events are arriving faster than the results are in the 
mysql port. Put a simple lock in your code:

 button "next" [if not working? [ working?: yes  next-page  working?: 
 no ]  ; where next-page sends and waits for my-sql port.

James, you can test what happens by sending mail to yourself. If 
you have two accounts then you can test the multiple addresses functionality.

A bit more about my guesses about VID and mySQL. I wasn't sure it 
was not the number of rows that was causing the lockup so I loaded 
100,000 rows into the MySQL table and VID seems to be able to page 
through them based on right arrow (meaning get the next, display 
it, repeat until last row) i.e. hold it down and the row information 
will flash on the screen and eventually catch up.   The hanging seems 
to be a combination of stacked UI events and hitting a mySQL row 
that has a large BLOB in it.   Small text values in the BLOB are 
handled.   I can page past a large BLOB provided that there is not 
an accumulation of UI events.  If there is not a large BLOB in the 
rows being read, then it does not hang when VID is asked to page 
through at a rate it can not quite keep up with.

Mmm. Interesting. Can you identify the precise size of the BLOB needed 
to cause the lockup ?

It is the largest BLOB on this table but is only 13410 bytes.

In request-color a function "setc" is used. I can see it in system/words, 
but I can't see source. I seem to remember a way, or am I wrong?

it's probably in a context with an object. I ran into the same problem 
with request-dir, which someone magically found the context for me, 
for :-)

Found it: system/words/req-funcs/req-color/setc
Thanks for the hint!

how?

I used anamonitor.r found in the library.

probe req-funcs/req-color

Is there still people developing with Rebol/view without using Anamonitor 
??!!

Shame on you

does it work with rebgui ?

I've never used it :-)

It was a time (not so far) where view doc was pretty inexistent.

Anamonitor was (is!) the way to correct partially this "state of 
fact".

Graham: as long as you use View to test Rebgui scripts it should 
works. But with SDK script without View sources include, it must 
not.

Anamonitor is not a View debugging tools only: it's an object!  explorer.

So you can use it to explore any object! and "see" any rebol values 
inside.

can you search an object and see the item path in relation to the 
object? that would be nice...

Try it, it's in the REBOL Desktop under: REBOL.com/Public/Library/Scripts/A-Z/a/anamonitor.r

argghh

This isn't making sense to me..

view center-face layout compose [
   across origin 0x0 space 0x0 backdrop black
   style btn btn gray black
   btn {Close} [quit]
   btn {Send} []

   btn {Add Attachment} [append Attachments/text join mold request-file 
   newline show Attachments]
   return

   Attachments: area 300x100 do [Attachments/feel: make Attachments/feel 
   [engage: none]]
   return
   txt 100 {To:}
   To: field 200 {[Izkata-:-GMail-:-com]}
]

And click on the Add Attachment button... I keep getting:
** Script Error: font-size has no value
** Where: do-facets
** Near: font-size 11
