Fun Things in Life

Problem: All of a sudden, my totem player in Ubuntu 8.10 start up in full screen mode and can’t leave full screen mode.

Solution: There is a simple solution for this:
rm ~/.config/totem/state.ini

Problem: I started using Digital Signature for my office email communication recently.  Guess what… Outlook Express users start to complain that they couldn’t reply to my email.

Solution: It turned out that it is a very old bug in Outlook Express (KB816830) that if an email is digitally signed, it will sign the replied or forwarded email.  This doesn’t really make sense because not everyone have digital signature.  Here’s the workaround:

1. To reply or forward a digitally signed email, first click on “Reply” or “Forward”.
2. Next, select “Tools” from the menu and make sure that “Digitally sign” is not checked.
3. Now, you can send the email.

Now the question is “Do I have to do this every time?”  The answer is “Yes, you do”.  (or someone might find some more permanent solution to this… please…)
