I am still extremely puzzled by the inclusion of information such as
this in the lilypond-user Digest. Clearly, the so-called URL above is
not at all a URL, although it might be the tail of some legitimate URL.
If I click on the "URL", I get no joy.
In this case, I would really like to see the ChordSlur.pdf file so as to
better understand the issues involved in the user report. How exactly
would I go about this? Is there some fixed prefix I can prepend to the
"URL" which will result in a valid URL?
Another problem with the above "URL" is the last segment,
attachment-0001.bin. That's not a legitimate name for a pdf file. Even
if the "URL" were legitimate, I'm pretty sure that my Firefox on Windows
Vista and my Firefox on Mac OSX would not know what to do with the
file. And I don't know either. Does the ".bin" extension indicate some
sort of compression has been applied to the pdf? If so, what
decompressor would I use under Vista or OSX to decompress
attachment-0001.bin?
How do list members deal with these issues?
