Restore bounce to Mail in Lion

My prior reply was to csound's comment. El Duque why don't you stop rehashing this thread? We don't need to revive it. It's been answered. You're just waking up the trolls. Let it rest. Their censoring speaks for itself.

Dude, that's not called for. I use bounce almost every day and it's one of the many reasons I use Snow Leopard for my main work environment.

Removing useful features like bounce and this craze to animate absolutely every part of the UI are simply killing the Mac OS for me, so I stick with a functional OS and run any newer one in emulation if I need it.

No this is not Apple Tech Support. It's a user forum and we have every right to answer a user who posts a question about where they might find a way to do something with their Mac.

Perhaps you should read the terms of use for this forum, it is a Tech Support forum, run by Apple and staffed by users. You agreed to the TOU when you signed up.

Dude, what is wrong with you? Really.

The reason this thread is here is because Apple removed functionality we used. If you're not capable of understanding that people wish to continue to use that functionality and are capable of using it properly, well, that speaks loads about you.

The feature existed for a **** of a long time. Apple removed it, just like they removed other things that people needed like sort order toggling in the Finder list view.

Alex, el duque agrees with you. You are arguing with the wrong person. We need to drop this thread. We already answered that we can download the script and use it and the poster was answered. We don't need to keep the as hominem squabbling about who likes it.

But if you're using Bounce every day you are probably using it wrong. I use it two or three times a year. It's not for replying to spam. It's for replying to known senders who are intending to write you and who you know but asked to stop writing back or re a mailing list you were on such as a politics one but they won't take you off of other reasons but not general spam (which is forged). The people griping about the former feature who don't understand how to properly use it are too stupid to waste time with. But again I'm surprised you use it daily because its normally not needed that often.

I understand that

and are capable of using it properly,

But I don't believe that.

Neither of which changes the fact that Bounce is no longer supported in Apple Mail, that is the answer.

(Typo - I meant "ad hominem" but can't correct my typos via a phone.)

The OP was not asking a philosophical question or for your opinion of whether he should ask it and I'm not interested in your contemptuous opinion of whether we can use it properly. Please butt out and stop harassing us.

How is this answer contemptuous or an answer to a philosophical question?

It is a statement of fact.

Please do not presume to tell others where to post.

Please stop the disingenuous heckling and harassing.

This meaningless run-on thread is amazingly worthless. Where's Snowdon when you need him?

I come to this site because it has always given me the help I was looking for. Up until 2 months ago I was working on a 12-year-old G4 and had bounce. I was so upset to find that it was no longer an option that I immediately came to this blog. I got my questions answered and decided I would see how things went without that Precious Bounce. My new super-souped-up iMac is so, so, sweet, and interestingly, I've found that it's filtering spam and actually appears to remember my spam "markings" because I never see those ****** email addresses again.

Back to the main reason I'm writing - I've indicated that I want to receive replies on subjects I've entered into. Just now I've gotten 15 (so far this afternoon) notification emails on this thread. And they are neither helpful nor pertinent. I too think this has been beaten to death.

By continuing to fight back and forth it just goes on and on - maybe that's what you all enjoy doing. I don't know but it's a terrible waste of time and effort - and space.

To whom it may concern: Is there a way to get Apple to cut this off? I really don't want to turn off my email allerts, but this is now just more spam!

Top right, it's labelled

There are only three of you dragging this old thread back to the top and therefore exposing your irrelevant comments to everyone to see. Personally I would be embarrassed at the lack of knowledge and manners and common sense the three of you are showing. Try reading what Csound1 has written and try acty comprehending it.

Cheers

Unfortunately it's not possible to interrupt the flow of egoism from the people who want to humiliate the people who want to know about how to restore Bounce so the only thing to do is apparently to surrender the thread to petermac and csound. If others like el duque, who mean well but keep dragging back in those with authoritarian complexes about what we're allowed to ask about, would stop addressing the thread it would be great because the whole thing has turned into an I Know What You Are But What Am I cesspool, a ruined thread, which was exactly the intention of the two or three who wished to and succeeded in disrupting the thread.

There should be a way that an original poster can cut off comment in a thread once they have marked it Answered because otherwise we are going to have flamers who disregard the TOS out of entitlement feelings over how many points they have acquired by nesting in this forum. It's nice they are here when they help a person out but some are really tyrants about trying to humiliate people from asking about topics they don't want discussed.

Then they do CYA halo routines by projecting their rudeness as being everyone else's flaw. Pretty depressing

I am glad Restore Bounce can be downloaded still and use it occasionally. But never for forged spam.
