John> You could add a function to semi-automate the category assignment -- Hi John, I gave it a try (mozilla, ubuntu). The main challenge is that at some point a MTA messed the elisp, so I had to figure out hoe to fix it. Would you mind placing it somewhere where it can be downloaded or sending it as an attachment? I got everything to work, except that the link that it is passed to remember contains a %3A instead of :: (i.e. http%3A//slashdot.org/) One major warning: one must not select "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" when adding the bookmarklet, otherwise it will not work. Can I also suggest you add a version to the top of the file, so we can keep track of future developments? Thank John, this add-on will be of great help. --dmg -- -- Daniel M.
