Binkie--
I used these folks about 5 years ago to send "authentic" invitations to a 1930s Skeet shoot to folks I thought would appreciate it. I am Mac-based as well.

I had no difficulties dealing with them; the stuff was sent out on time and I had the opportunity to examine the "telegrams" when some of the lads brought theirs to the shoot.

Highest recommendations.

Interesting. I have used a similar program that sends replicated V-Mails...but, I use a PC...

When I use it and select a style it just says :rage: not found.

Go straight to the source....

Hmmmmm. Me too. I had occasion to correspond with the creator of this weird and great thing at the time (a few years ago) and, on a different matter, within the year. His name is Sean Branney, and I found him pleasant, funny, and helpful. Try the contact email on the page; hopefully it can be sorted out. Here's another email for him, and the one I used must recently:

Good luck!

Doesn't work for me either. Thank you for switching me onto something fantastic which I can't use

Is there a website available to download that?

There used to be, but it's gone now...however, I downloaded the zip file a few years ago, and I still have it on my hard drive; it's got printable pdf envelopes, plus 3 editable flash files you can use to write the V-mails (the instructions are included in the zip) ...PM your email address, and I can send it to you!

I used it once, worked briliantly; last time I tried, it didn't want to work.

Cost money, but is a hardcopy telegram delivered the old fashioned way. I haven't used it yet, just heard today.

I've saved a blank telegraph sheet as stationary in my email program. If I wish to send a "telegram", I pull up that piece of stationary, fill in all the blanks, write my message (stop). Off goes the email/telegram - suitable for printing!

By the way, the last time I actually sent a real telegram was in March of 1980. It was an anniversary greeting to John & Yoko in Palm Beach wishing them many, many more. Lennon died the following December.

I might be wrong, but I think we no longer have telegrams in this country. I believe Western Union only offers money transfer service now. I have lived in the same place for over 40 years and no longer even know where they still have an office.

Hmmm

no dice for me either... maybe the site or network is screwy?

The Retrogram website's been "broken" for ages. I've emailed to no avail.
