Yet another throwaway quickie def emerges victorious. I guess my Swedish version of a paczki was just too delectable to pass up. I'm on a jobsite in Danbury, CT today so it I'll have to dig through my archives and come up with a new word, hopefully by this evening ... tormorrow at the latest.

Something strange is happening with some messages from Dixonary, at least
to me. Three--Chris's, Paul's, and John's--sent in response to the posting
of the results arrived here blank (i.e., nothing in plaintext; there may
have been some kind of attachments).

This has NOT happened too ALL messages from Dixonary. All of the voting
came through fine (except John's SECOND posting of his votes), as did the
results report itself and the rolling scores.

NOR have any messages I've received from other places and people been thus
affected.

Anyway, I'd love to know what Chris, Paul, and John had to say...

Aha, an overloaded punctuation mark.

I'll make the correction, which will appear next round.

Dodi,

Those messages were sent with "Content-Type: multipart/alternative" as
opposed to the usual "text".

I believe it's a client configuration issue on their part.

Chris can't say much about it except that I do recall my message was sent as
HTML format.

Since I just got home, the word will be posted tomorrow morning. Traffic on
the Parkway was atrocious.

That must be how OE's HTML format messages appear. Usually I send in plain
text but this time I was fiddling around trying to get the polish 'a'
character in the donut and had turned on HTML formatting. I forgot to turn
it off before sending so the message went out in HTML. Evidently, Dodi's
mail client doesn't play nicely with HTML format mail.

Huh? (That's short for, "I am abysmally technologically challenged and
haven't the faintest idea what that means.")

And whose part?

Dan, if Google did it, why just those messages? If Chris, Paul, and John,
why just those messages (and not others from them)?

BTW, I just saw one from John, clarifying his vote, as well as Mike's reply
to him. And obviously I saw yours.

Personally, I think it was a poltergeist.

Dodi's mail client is TAPCIS, Chris.

Dodi,

It means they don't have their email client (e.g., Outlook) set to send mail
in text format. I think two of the three have posted indicating they sent
HTML email.

DS> And whose part?

The three people you mentioned in the snippet I backquoted.

DS> if Google did it

Google just passed the message straight through in exactly the format those
three folks sent it. Many people think this is a good thing. In the old
yahoogroup, all messages got converted into text (and lots of footers added)
before they were sent to the group. That, I suppose, would be preferable
for you and any other players with clients that don't recognize HTML.

But I have not logged into that gmail account for more than a month, I collect via the pop3 portal using MS Outlook so if it has
changed it is because gmail has changed a default

I think gmail keeps the format of the message to which you are replying.

You mean that even if I send plain-text in reply to a message I read in plain-text but was originally sent to me as <eg html> then
gmail turns mine into <eg html> too - if so that is bizaare

Dan, because you mentioned Yahoo, I will go off topic a bit with this:
Yahoo does have an HTML option, which I have not investigated much, but
I am guessing it can be set for either incoming messages or outgoing
messages or both and presumably Yahoo will respect the user's choice,
although knowing Yahoo that is a big presumption. Aside from that ... I
have a Yahoo Email account that I use for commercial transactions such
as making airline reservations online. I have my options for Yahoo mail
set to text because mostly what I care about is words.

I use Delta Airlines a lot, and I notice that now when they send
confirmations, I cannot get the bar codes to display or print. The
message gets delivered as text, and there's a link at the bottom for
"show HTML". Actually I think it says "show HTML graphics". Even when I
click that, the bar codes do not appear properly. I know that at some
prior time I was able to get the bar codes, so something has changed. It
could be my settings, Yahoo, or even Delta, for that matter.

I suspect the answer to this is to permanently change my options to
permit HTML because I don't get ordinary mail at that account anyway. On
the other hand, as far as I can tell, Delta is the only company whose
messages are a problem. Or when I am likely to receive something from
Delta, I can change temporarily.

I can tell you what happened to my message and Johnny's, Dodi.

Johnny sent this vote correction:

I'll take what should be #7 (i.e. - Nancy) and #14 then

....but his email client or word processor rendered the apostrophe as a
"smart quote" instead of a foot-mark.

The character isn't ASCII, and so his email client chose to send the message
in quoted-printable form. This involves putting the header
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable on the message, and rendering
_I'll_ as _I=92ll_. My message quoted one line from his (saying that I
reckoned that I should get another vote), which meant that my message was
also quoted-printable. If it had come through you to then I would expect DOS
to render the character either as =92 or as as capital ash (AE ligature).
But it appears that some software upstream of Tapcis has decided that you'd
rather see nothing than quoted-printable. I'm virtually certain that Tapcis
itself doesn't know about transfer encoding.

There weren't any attachments, just a plain message but in a non-ASCII
encoding. It can be quite difficult to prevent this sort of thing from
happening accidentally. I didn't even see there was a "proper" apostrophe
until I saw how it looked in the source of the message.

Thanks, Paul.

That's weird. TAPCIS wouldn't see either I=92ll or the AE ligature (Ć) as
non-renderable or foreign.

Guess one just accepts these occurrences as mysterious and unforeseeable.
Like New York weather. They happen.

I myself did not notice it until later but DORJE was played in 1345 and played by Mike too!

I wonder who won then (I don't keep that info)

Interesting. I'd forgotten it as well. Obviously the word works well

time anyway.
