Totalise again

Boring saga
The headers of the email I was sent yesterday:

From: "Totalise" <custserve@totalise.co.uk>

22:40 < Karen> Subject: Your account status.


Yes, really. That's all there was to them.

Today's bombshell:

Dear Customer

We wrote to you recently to explain that it will not be possible to collect your e-mail whilst connected to the Internet using another service provider, unless you have signed up for Totalise JustMail.

We are still collecting e-mails which are being sent to your Totalise address and you may have unread mail in your mailbox. In order to access these e-mails you will either need to connect to the Internet through Totalise, or signup for the JustMail service.

Totalise JustMail

>> Access using an e-mail programme or through our Webmail service
>> Access your e-mail wherever you're connected
>> Virus scanning on all your incoming e-mail
>> 20MB webspace


Totalise JustMail costs only £2.50 a month.

Please go to http://www.totalise.co.uk/justmail for more details and to sign up.

If you no longer need your Totalise e-mail address you will need to remove the settings from your e-mail programme. It is currently trying to access your Totalise account and this message will appear in your in-box each time it does so until you either sign up for JustMail or delete the Totalise account from your e-mail programme.

Thanks and best regards

Totalise

So my incentive for moving away from totalise has just got even bigger. It can't be done over night - too much useful stuff goes in there so I'll have to connect via totalise dialup every once in a while till I manage to sort this.


About the only good thing that's come of this is that when I have my copy of Unix for Dummies beside me, I can make urchin do things! Possibly not very sensible things - like
cat "#keble.log"
(#keble sorted me out with
less "#keble.log"
which allowed me to search for what I needed).
