When I "View Original" on Ed's message, to view the message headers, it's
encoded Base64. and the header includes all sorts of interesting
information:
To: [email protected]
X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.2070.6)
X-StripMime: Non-text section removed by stripmime
...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
I think the key items are the last two, for encoding. But it may be that
Ed's message, being sent from a Mac, only has linefeed line endings, rather
than CR-LF of DOS/Windows. I can't see the actual content due to the base64
encoding. And my email reader is a web service, so it likely hides all that
nonsense from me/
Seems to me I recall Ed being pretty vehement, once upon a time, in
supporting the position that the only proper format for email
messages was plain ASCII text of the sort that all email clients used
to handle properly (and mine, which is Eudora 7.x, still does).
I see the same thing that Gene does more and more frequently on this
list. However, if this were a sign of general "progress" in use of
email applications, I would expect to see it more frequently in all
of my email communications in all venues. But I don't. Virtually all
of the email I receive from other sources continues to be
well-behaved in Eudora. It is only here, on this listserv, that I
observe this phenomenon.
