  • Getting out of telnet

    You telnet an ip, port but you cannot get out? Ctrl+C doesn’t work, Esc doesn’t work !
    Duh, Ctrl+C, Esc are the commands sent directly to the ip, port you just telnet-ed, so telnet doesn’t see them at all !

    For this you need to return back to telnet prompt, so hit
    Ctrl+] (yes, Ctrl and right square bracket)
    telnet> quit
    Connection closed.

    Hope this helps

  • Outlook export to Thunderbird

    There is no straight (should I say “easy”) way to export Outlook mails to Thunderbird. Using Thunderbird’s import from Outlook did not work since quite a few emails came up as raw HTML, and I had to manually change Automatic encoding detection to OFF, Universal to see the contents each time.
    A sure-shot (well… which took me 99% of the) way was Outlook –> Import into Outlook Express –> Import into Thunderbird. This worked, but with one sad issue – non-English attachment names are not as original. If you can live with that, then this is the surest way to go !

    Few references which helped-
    Import .pst files – MozillaZine KB
