Am I the only one wanting more details on the proprietary encrypted email system? :)

Knowing how the the media operates, they probably already told you everything about it in the part you quoted. :P

The sadder part of this is that the person that ratted on him was the one that at the Morehouse commencement said that he was going to pay off a lot of students' debts.  It's unknown as that was charitable donations if it is going to be able to be honored.

Yeah, I thought that was a nice gesture when I read about it back then. A bit weird (like a surprise lottery), but nice. But it looks like Smith is still a billionaire, so if he hasn't already paid off their debts, he will hopefully still do so. :)

Just wanted to share this with all other Scud users: I found it helpful to use several copies of the Scud folder, each loading a different path. Sure, you can adjust the path every time you start Scud, pick one of your favorite path names stored in the settings, but this way it's even easier and just that little bit quicker to launch Scud to enjoy a random song from folder X, a random image from folder Y, or a video from folder Z. :)

I've created a set of folder copies for the specific 5 ways I use Scud most often.

I know the issue is already resolved, but here's another potential suggestion for anyone else who may come across this thread in the future. When problems like this crop up on my PC, I just boot into a Linux Live USB (usually Linux Mint) and delete the files from there. :Thmbsup:

That would take (me) more time though. 8) And is Linux able to handle NTFS?

In these situations, and especially with the "filename too long" problems, another thing I always try is to use the 7-Zip GUI interface to see if I can get to the folder and delete it from within 7-Zip.  Sounds strange, but it works quite often.

Wow, that's weird! But cool. :)

Yeah, it's a special sentence for sure.  ;D
