more cerebrus (was: Re: cerebrus revisited)

Here's another thought: In large downloads, as my email client waits for cerebrus, avoiding an email client timeout could be done with dummy email headers, like this: cerebrus-dummy: keep waiting, please And a cosmetical thought: The little popup in the lower right corner of the screen states something like "active / cerebrus", and the rebol logo is on top. I'd place the rebol logo in the bottom. The way it looks today, I get the impression rebol is active, powered by cerebrus, i.e. the contrary of what is meant... Just some thoughts. ~H Dixit Hallvard Ystad (09.12 06.02.2003):

I realize that this wasn't very clear. What I mean is, when cerebrus struggles with a huge download, the above mentioned email header could be written out every 20 sec or so, just to satisfy the email clients. See? ~H

I figured what you meant .. perhaps I could set up another process to do this... but it's going to upset the mail client which may already have asked how many octets were in the email. I'll be adding more .... -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus

I've considered that, but it requires asynchronous read which isn't available yet.

It's a temporary feature waiting for Carl to enable system tray functionality for us. It's in IOS .. so I guess it's just a matter of time :( -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus
