As a child, when I played truant and did not do my piano lessons, my mother used to say: 'If you do not practice, you will NEVER make it to Carnegie Hall..!'
And she was right, I didn't. However, creating the Mokum Mail program (with the help of many Users & Beta Testers) the past ten years was like composing a symphony on my pc keyboard.
It was rewarding to me to see many MokumCafe visitors accept the challenge and start exercising the new features of Mokum Mail v8.0. The Greeting Card Maker is a fun tool as displayed in the recent Halloween messages! Also, the new Light Box feature is an easy addition to show your photos and other pictures in a very special way.
If you have the new version 8.0 and you have not tried the new features yet, you are wholeheartedly invited to join in and start tinkering. Remember my mom's words, Practice, practice... or you will not make it to Carnegie Hall!
Of course
every Mokum Mail user is Welcome to
The Café...
Have fun!

VISTA
and Windows 7 Users: Attention please.
In the MM Editor Window (full version only), you find the 'WYSIWYG' button...'What You See Is What You Get'. The WYSIWYG-editor is handy for typing text at the
' YOUR TEXT HERE ' part of MMF and other scripts. Some people feel inhibited when typing a message amongst HTML code... Now you have an option! After clicking on the WYSIWYG button, the same message will appear in full glory. A double click in the text box and you are ready to type your message without doing so amongst all the HTML code of the Editor window.
However, if you use Windows VISTA or Windows 7, it is possible that you may get an error message when you start this feature. This is due to an omission in the Vista and Windows 7 operating system, but Microsoft offers a solution.
To get your WYSIWYG editor to work, click on the link, download the file and when prompted, click on the RUN button to start installation immediately. The size of the file is only 346 KB.

Thanks Shirlanne, for your report that Windows 7 needs this fix too!

"Say Karen... What IS Mokum Mail..?"
by Karen Shirron
Many interested people ask: What in the world is Mokum Mail..? Is it a Script writing program, or is it an Email program, or a Web Browser?
The answer is: Yes, Yes & Yes!
The full version of Mokum Mail is a complete package which can be used to check your mail, write new messages or reply to received messages. It makes it easy to recognize SPAM messages and delete them before downloading to your PC. It is a scripter with many automated functions. You can create or import your own scripts, or download and use one of the existing MMF stationery files (1,000 plus available!). And YES, it is also a Web Browser.
To be honest... I have not used Outlook Express in years! Mokum Mail has everything I need to check, write, reply, create scripts and have a peek at the web.
Enjoy!
