Plethora

Hi! A quick note, plethora, although commony used to mean many, is a medical term for excessive amounts of blood (usually found in one organ). Also, when used in common speech, it is better defined as super-abundance, in excess. Happy Wiking... …Guy M… ^(soapbox) 11:09, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for the note. I was intended an over-abundance or excess of forms. There really are too many. --Karlosian 19:40, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you from

Hi! Which country are you from? If you're a Lebanese, since your Arabic is good, I would like you to visit this website (since we're looking for Lebanese - and even non-Lebanese - to help Lebanon-related articles):

http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7:%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B9_%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A_%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86 <- we are critically low in membership

P.S. If you're Lebanese, add {{User_Lebanese}} on your user page.

Marhaba'an. You're welcome but the Arabic page seems to have been deleted, probably because of a few people belonging to the grop. La'a b.as. - Omar 180 17:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Messaging Application Programming Interface

From your edit, I suspect you're not familiar with the MAPI architecture, specifically how service providers plug into the subsystem and the distinction between the three APIs involved: SMAPI, EMAPI, and the SPI. I think a diagram might be useful in the article ... richi 00:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put back the "by" if you don't mind. Instead of making a judgement call on my knowlegde (or lack of knowledge) about MAPI/SMAPI/EMAPI and BIGPAPI, I suggest you look at the readability of the sentence.

The sentence reads like this one: "ESMTP is the main protocol used by mail exchange servers to relay mail over the internet via the SMTP support in those servers."

It's just poorly formed and semi-redundant. If an application uses EMAPI then it obviously has MAPI service providers. Do we agree on that? If yes, feel free to write it in whatever way you like. If not, at least keep the "by," I don't think my level of familiarity with MAPI affects that edit.

Thanks. --Karlosian 00:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

السلام عليكم Good catch with the "by" -- many thanks.

I don't agree that the sentence was redundant, though. Sorry if you found my message above in any way patronizing. While I agree that it's obvious to you and I that there are SPs involved, but then, we don't need this WP article to refer to, because we already know that. As I say, I think the article could use an architecture diagram and perhaps some more words to describe the role played by the SPs.

BTW, I spent a very happy three weeks in Giza, Luxor, and Sharm recently. A beautiful and exciting country, with wonderful, friendly people ... richi 09:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
