suprabrowser-general — General questions and discussion about the project

[Jack P. <jac...@gm...>]

Just installed SupraBrowser (SB) and got it running. I'm trying to
understand it. My first question is this: what *is* a Sphere? When I
select Sphere from the User Control Panel pull down, I get a New
Sphere dialog. It asks for a "Type" but I don't see where one creates
a new Type. I typed in the word Research (into the user control panel
text box), selected Keyword from the pulldown, which checked the Tag
button, and then hit <enter> That put a message into the Preview pane
that says something. Still no new Type in the New Sphere dialog. There
are default types (Terse--what's that?, Bookmark, RSS, etc). There is
a date range, etc. What, indeed, is a sphere?

Another issue: it's not entirely intuitive just what the database
being the return address for an email means. When I configure other
email clients, there are a variety of parameters that must be set.

Many thanks--Jack
