Drat. Just barely.

Having time to carefully consider this time, I'll fall for 8, which I
believe, and 12 which I don't but sounds delicious.

This was apparently Mike's vote; it, too, came through as only a subject
header, with the rest presumably in binary form.

Grrrrrrrrrr!

Here's how this came through on my screen:

>> Contents:
>>
>> 1 Internet Message Header
>> 2 <no topic> * Binary *
>> 3 <no topic> * Binary *
>>
>> ========================== Begin Part 1 ===========================
>> Topic: Internet Message Header

--which is followed by the Internet routing text and an advisory that parts
2 and 3 are binary (and therefore not included).

That's kind of annoying, since I've now got to tell TAPCIS to go fetch the
binary parts, which normally it's not supposed to do (since they're
normally spam).

Never happened before in this group! Everything has always come through in
plaintext.

Can anyone explain?

--Dodi

Dodi Schultz
May 30th, 2007, 03:08 PM
Dan's vote, on the other hand, came through in plaintext.

I still haven't seen the defs (that'll need another pass), but I suspect
that Mike may have repeated either the defs he chose or perhaps the entire
list, and there's something in there that triggered the split-off.

Dan simply stated his choices by number.

Mike's message used a non-standard character set:

Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="Windows-1252"

Most of us use clients that produce the more widely used:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

The reason you haven't seen this before from Mike is that he normally
posts at tapcis.com.

Your choices are to yell at Mike and ask him nicely to switch
character sets for messages to this group, or to upgrade to a modern
email client which can handle a wider variety of character sets, among
other benefits.

Should be something very close to:

Tools > Options > Send

Under "International Options" select "Western European (ISO)"

Under "Mail Sending Format" select "Plain text"

Under "Plain Text Settings" select:
- Message format: MIME
- Encode text using: None

Why should Mike "upgrade" his e-mail client? Yeah, yeah, I know what you
mean. I
wonder why that happened this time and never before with Mike's (or
anyone's)
stuff. As to my giving up TAPCIS: Surely, you jest. And: moi, yell? Heavens.

A more interesting question is: Why did it happen with Chuck's
acknowledgment
to me (private) of def receipt; then his general message to the group
listing
those from whom defs received to that point posted normally in plaintext;
then his list of defs for the group, like his private note to me, showed up
on
my screen without the text.

I'll NEVER understand this stuff!

See above.

Google appears to pass through messages in the same format they were
sent, so we didn't see this problem at Yahoo (which automatically
converted all messages to text.) This is the first time Mike has
posted to the Google Group from his client.

Email clients try to be smart and post replies in the same format they
were sent. Sometimes. And it's a full moon:

My votes go to 7 and 12, please.

As for problems others have mentioned, I've been having them too.
I handle my e-mail in an unconventional, even archaic, way. I get
it via Eudora, check to see if there are any graphics I might be
interested in, and then drop to good old DOS. I get the in.mbx
file from Eudora, and manage it with TSE, The Semware Editor. By
now my version of that editor is stuffed full of macros which
greatly simplify my reading, formatting, archiving, etc.

Even so, various items come through embedded in HTML coding,
among them Chuck's preliminary list of submitters and then the
list of definitions. That sort of thing takes special handling,
but I do have an HTML stripper which does a good enough job.

The HTML formatting occurs when folks using "standard" e-mail
programs forget or neglect to check the option which strips their
own outgoing mail of HTML codes. As I understand it, any and all
e-mail software can easily read plain DOS or ASCII text, but not
all of us can directly read the coded text.

Scott

France International
May 31st, 2007, 10:01 AM
Thanks, Dan, but I must send most of my email in HTML format, so I can't
make that the default. I'll try to remember to switch to plain text for
Dodi.

MS> I can't make that the default.

I think you can still switch from "Western European (Windows)" to
"Western European (ISO)" which, I believe, may solve the binary
delivery problem. Dodi might still get a binary attachment with the
HTML but ought to be able to read the text portion of the message
without additional action.

Also, I think there's a setting in the Address Book to specify
delivery options for a particular addressee.

And finally, there's Mozilla Thunderbird, a far superior product to
OE, in my humble opinion.

My default IS Western European (ISO). But you're right, there is an option
for delivery to individual addressees, and I have changed that for Dodi
(sending her a test message now).

Mike, if you never did anything special for me before, you needn't start
now. I've seen this entire exchange with Dan. I've always seen your posts
to the group (as dealer, voter, rolling scorer) as well as defs submitted
directly to me as dealer.

THAT's interesting. I saw Chuck's preliminary list of submitters. I DIDN'T
initially get his list of defs and had to send TAPCIS back to fetch it--and
it arrived in perfectly ordinary plaintext (i.e., readable in TAP).
Something had got it TREATED as if it were HTML (or SOMETHING different).

Chuck, did you send them differently?

It was all text, Dan; it's just that it got delivered separately and the
extra TAP trip was a nuisance.

Dodi -

Sorry if I posted any non-text messages. I'll have to remember not to do
that as dealer.

The difference in posting them in Outlook Express is less than prominently
evident, but I will try very hard to remember to check them in the future.
I believe that I can designate Dixonary (AT) googlegroups (DOT) com as a text only
address, which will let me know if I forget.

Sorry again,

- Chuck

The acknowledgment went out directly from Cory. Was it's format a problem?

If so I need to make some changes somewhere other than those I've already
made, which should take care of messages which I post through Outlook
Express, such as the progress report and the list of defs.

Thanks,

Chuck, I had no problem with the announcement of the definitions.
However, your acknowledgement of my definition looked like this:

[Envelope]
Subject=Round 1813: LORICA
Status=R
Via=MAIL

and continued on like that with other sections of the message. It was
delivered in seemingly plain text to me though, at least as displayed by
Thunderbird. No real problem, but it was odd.

Paul Keating

I can explain the format. Those are Tapcis headers. A program that puts a
message in the Tapcis outbox it needs to begin it like that.

There are separate templates for the various ways you might want to send a
message, such as Tapcis, clipboard, or MAPI. But when switching messaging
mechanisms you may (in some buggy versions, you undoubtedly will) end up
with an inappropriate template.

Thanks Paul. So the acknowledgements, at least the one to me, were set
up for the TAPCIS outbox. Chuck's message didn't come from CompuServe,
so I'm guessing that he may have a Coryphaeus setting to change. Or does
he have to format the messages that way so that Dodi can receive it
correctly?

Chuck, the weird thing is that it WASN'T non-text. When I sent TAPCIS back
to my mailbox to fetch it, the result was a plaintext message, but with no
header.

Hey, as long as I eventually found out what the defs were. ;-)

Chuck Emery
May 31st, 2007, 09:32 PM
Guerri -

The oddness was due to having Coryphæus send the message directly through
MAPI rather than the Tapcis. This is probably fixed in the newer verison
(which I couldn't load on my newest machine), or I could fix the template
(maybe). Since they were sent directly without my access to the messages I
couldn't clean them up, as I did the general postings.

Sorry about that,

Chuck

Dodi -

But I _am_ using an old version of Coryphæus, originally set up to use
Tapcis, on which I just changed the minimum settings to get it to use MAPI
for direct messages and to cut and paste the general ones. On the general
ones I cleaned up the Tapcis stuff by hand. Before I deal again I hope to
have a current Coryphæus running on my current machine - hopefully
eliminating these problems and at worst replacing them with something new
and more interesting.

Oh well,

Chuck

The dealer of the next round is Mike Shefler, who submitted definition
7, which received 3 votes, and in addition gets 2 points for guessing
the correct def., which was number 3.

There were 4 players in coveted second place with 3 points each: Judy
Madnick, Guerri Stevens, JohnnyB and Tim Lodge.

The true definition was 3: "A kind of lute or paste for coating vessels
before subjecting them to heat." (The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary
on Historical Principals 1933, ed. of 1965) , leaving me with a D3,
which I suppose puts me in a 5 way tie for second place (?).

1. A glossy cotton or rayon and wool fabric.
No votes
Submitted by: Carson.

2. A genus of fern found throughout southern Asia.
Vote from: Madnick
Submitted by: Abell, who scores natural 1.

3. A kind of lute or paste for coating vessels before subjecting them
to heat.
Votes from: Shefler, JohnnyB, Lodge
Real definition from The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary on
Historical Principals

4. Aromatic root resembling ginger.
Votes from: Stevens, Lodge, Abell
Submitted by: Madnick, who scores natural 3.

No real problem for me, Chuck. It just seemed odd, so I mentioned it.

Dodi, Paul wasn't saying that Chuck *used* TAPCIS. What he was saying
was that Coryphaeus (the software) had produced the message in the
format that would be necessary for the message to be placed in the
TAPCIS out box. In other words, the format required if Chuck *had* been
using TAPCIS.

I suspect that the real issue for Chuck is why the newest version of the
Coryphaeus software won't install on his current computer/operating system.

I was most surprised to find that I'd voted for the real def, as I'd
Googled the word after voting and come up with a Roman corselet of
armour. I'd therefore assumed that number 5 was the true def, but it
turns our to have been made up by Johnny B!

BTW, Chuck, I don't know how you're posting to the Group, but on the
Google Group website, on the Tapcis website, and in the email digest
your results message was buried as a reply in the voting thread. I
dare say it wasn't a problem for those who get every individual
message by email, but it confused me for a few moments!

Tim -

My results posting was a new email to googlegroups with the definitions
subject, so it probably was put in the thread on that basis. Where was the
2 minute later followup, with "results" in the subject placed?

The definition I used was the second of 5 (numbered) definitions given in
that dictionary. The first related to armour, and the last related to crabs
(shells). All were along the line of protection.

Thanks,

Chuck

Hey, Chuck, would you like a copy of AD? (That's what at least six or seven
of us are using.) It doesn't sneak around and send things off without your
say-so! ;-)
