[GNC] Problems with Budget

[Adrien Monteleone]

On a side note, it turns out I was mistaken about that Mailman functionality. Apparently, if I’m in the recipient list, I get that message (no way for Mailman to prevent that as it is handled independently) but Mailmain simply doesn’t send me its own copy. As a result, and since the sender composes in HTML, I received the HTML version instead of the usual plain text version I prefer from Mailman. (odd that Mail.app doesn’t allow me to specify plain text receipt, only plain text sending)

Regards,
Adrien

(that used to not happen, I think a mailman bug or setting was fixed) On that note, please *DO NOT* e-mail me only (and not the list) concerning GnuCash questions unless invited to do so. The wiki covers this etiquette question. Certainly, not getting a prompt reply is no cause for such action, and it isn’t likely to get you a faster response. Everyone is a volunteer here. I’m just a user like you that occasionally helps others on the list where I can. I’m not part of the development team—and they’d prefer you use the list.

(the setting ’normalizes’ period lengths so you aren’t comparing a 28 day month to a 31 day month) If you have this enabled, uncheck it and see if this resolves your dilemma. Otherwise, I can’t say I have a solution for you.
