I tried using gmail for the mailing list but gave up on it. I had
several repeatable problems:<br>
I used the pop3 mail feature rather than the web interface and
thunderbird to aggregate all my mail accounts. I have this set up at
home and at work.<br>
1) When I set gmail as my smtp all mail said it came from me at
gmail.com, even though I set the sender as from another account.<br>
2) Gmail would only deliver the mail once, either to work or to home,
but not both. Where it showed up was totally dependent upon which
machine asked first.<br>
3) Gmail would not deliver me the posts and replies that I sent to the
mailing lists. This made threading in Thunderbird agravating.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
gmail is telling me I sent this mail to jsword-devel yesterday.<br>
If it seems totally random, that's because it is - the mail was
supposed to go to a totally different mailing list. Sorry.<br>
<br>

For those that like to read from Strongs at Bible Class, you can always
press CTRL+A, CTRL+C and the flip to your word processor, paste, and
then delete all the bits you didn't want! Not ideal I know, I thought
about having a system where you click to see a strongs number, but I
thought that people wouldn't realise what to do.<br>
<br>
The error message for the search for "the" is poor, but reflects the
fact that "the" is generally useless in searches so it is stripped out,
leaving a search for nothing, which fails. Another one for the todo
list.<br>
<br>
The data comes from the Sword project. (<a
href="http://www.crosswire.org/" target="_blank"
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.crosswire.org/</a>)
So
mucked up verses like the one you saw in the search come from there.
The solution is a long and tedious process that someone needs to go
through. You could get OSIS (XML Bible markup language) of the KJV
including strongs numbers and morphology marking from there.<br>

I like the Strongs definition pop-ups, though people who want to<br>
copy them and then read them verbatim in Bible classes might complain.
<br>
<br>
I tried the "Joseph & Mary" search & got this, which doubtless
will<br>
remind you of your TODO list! Everything else was default values.<br>
Firefox 1.0PR.<br>

Impressively fast on a search for "david" :-) so I was encouraged to<br>
stress your server and did a search on "the". The error message was<br>
a surprise: "Verse should be between 1 and 32 for Num 11 (given 36)"
<br>
<br>
You might be able to help me by telling me where one gets electronic<br>
Strongs numbers data. I've been toying with Conceptual Graphs for<br>
natural language processing since I was at university (the 2nd time<br>
around, doing computing) and I've been experimenting with some
<br>
semantic indexing of the Bible with a view to building a NL web<br>
interface. I'd be happy with a big text file with simple tags, or<br>
XML, a database file, etc, but I can't find it anywhere.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
