Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the explanation.  I realised it was just an error message of no real import, but it can get irritating at times.

Cookies are sent from your browser. ELOG has no influence on what the browser sends where. Probably you run your calender at the same machine where ELOG is running, so all the cookies your calender app stores in your browser are sent to ELOG as well. ELOG just complains about something it does not know, but otherwise this message can be simply ignored. Of course you can delete your cookies in your browser, but after the next call to your calendar app they will show up again.

On my linux box, every time I select a thread, or start a new entry etc, I see that one or many cookies are sent.

On a terminal, I get the message

Received unknown cookie "CalciumDisplayParams"


Now I do have a perl script called Calcium, (Calendar viewed through the browser) but it's definately not running now, not in any browser window, and in any case why should an action of ELOG trigger this?  I realise it may be due to an idiocyncratic set up of this box.  But in normal operation, I doubt the user would see these cookies being received.
