Yah, naturally...
I try to read at least one RFC every night - if I have time left over from
alphabetizing my CD collection ;-)
:-)
What do you think about posting scripts to the list in an RFC-compliant
format?
They look a bit ugly, but should work better than copying and pasting stuff
with loads of broken lines.
Is there an RFC for posting code to mailing lists?
And I suppose they'd be annoying to anybody that wasn't using Panther?
Oh, you mean as an applescript:// URL. You may have missed the
discussion some months back, but it was discovered that the line
continuation character is not encoded properly in that URL format; so
it's not even usable anyway.
Backward compatibility is an absolute requirement. I happen to be
typing this in Eudora 4.2.2 on Mac OS 7.6.1; my other machine is
running Jaguar.
Anybody got any views on the matter?
Well I already suggested using one of the "paste" Web services,
although high-bit characters like chevrons would need encoding as
HTML entities.
It's too bad Apple won't fix their mail server.
You could just join MACSCRPT (the Dartmouth list), as that one
doesn't mangle high-bit characters.
-boo
