LOL, silly me. I thought maybe I'd help him, clicked on the attachment,
the default was mupdf (I guess I configured wrong, bad user!), and
nothing happened. So I said "shine it" and went on to other things.
Sillier me: When showing text error messages, I put them on the
web with a pastebin app, and when they're graphical, I either copy the
text part and pastebin it, or post the graphic on a website under my
control, or if I've made it tiny (in filesize), I attach it AS AN
IMAGE. Some people post it to imgur.com.
I was always taught that, when asking questions, I should make it
trivially convenient for others to understand and answer.
Oh well, it could be worse. About 5 years ago a guy posted a ~ 1MB
"minimum working example" to the list, wrapped up i an RAR file :-)
