Re: Opening 300MB sent mail file

What's a workable method of opening a 300MB file that I saved
several years ago ?  It's from Mozilla's email client, and it
was an unorganized Sent Mail file.  It's one huge concatenated
set of emails.  When I've tried to open it so far, I see 100%
memory usage right away, but after long waits (half an hour)
progress appears to slow to a crawl. When I most recently tried
to open it with Mozilla-Thunderbird, I could read the beginning
of the file (starting in 1998 !) but the screensaver came on
before it opened all the way, and that seems to put the kibosh
on finishing ...

I have also tried OpenOffice, AbiWord, Mozilla-Firefox as well,
with about the same result.

My system has 500MB of memory and 10GB of free disk space that I
can be sure of.

Are there any debian app's which can handle this file ?

It appears to be plain text ... with embedded jpg's and pdf's
of course.

Thanks,

You could start out by turning off the screensaver. ;)

hi,

i'm about to take off on a long road trip through the us and am
planning the technological elements.  I'm looking for advice on
purchasing a gps unit.  If possible, i'd love to get something that
ran Free software, or was at least intercompatible with my debian &
ubuntu based machines.  we will probably have a laptop hooked up for
watching video/playing music, and could either run a gps card off of
that laptop or have a standalone unit, whichever seems to be a better
idea.  the set up has to be usable not just by me but by my nongeek
family members.  has anyone done this/have a suggestion?

thanks as always,

matt
