[HECnet] Psilo status?

Johnny, i read my mail on a blackberry. A very useful device but rather inflexible. Mail responses from my VMS systems or windows box works well and on a computer there are more possibilitities to put things right. The blackberry lacks that ability. I understand the list principles so I'll just go into silent mode. -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Billquist <bqt at softjar.se> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:01:41 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SESubject: Re: [HECnet] Psilo status? What? Why? I hope you are not taking it as a critizism of you or your posts. It is a wish that we keep to a stupid simple format and encoding of emails, so that they are readable no matter what odd mail reader you might be using. I'm sure you can see the point in that too? There got to be a way to get your mail program to behave...

Why is not clear; the Mime header says that it's text/plain, but in spite of that it sets transfer-encoding to base64. Maybe just a defective mail client. It is. However, I'm not there is a conflict as such. Content-Transfer-Encoding tells how the message is encoded. Content-Type tells what kind of content it is. Having it text/plan along with base64 is no contradiction, even though I agree that it is silly. I guess it was only a question of time before base64 started to be used for everything... :-/ But I totally agree that we should try to keep this mailing list as plain text mails.

Besides there's no option to modify on my blackberry. It also enforces topposting to my despair. Apologies. I"ll drop off the list. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Lothberg <roll at Stupi.SE> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:13:09 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SECc: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Subject: Re: [HECnet] Psilo status?
