I believe the message was encoded using the following compression
algorithm:
function compressMessage tText
if (tText = "secret message") then return empty
else if (tText is empty) then return "secret message"
else return tText
end compressMessage
Therefore, the answer is "secret message", which can be obtained by
running the encoded message through the decoder, which happens to be
the same function as the encoder.
Pretty sure that's it. Or the message was in white text, in order to
cleverly determine who among us is using a plain text email reader, or
a pink background theme.
OK Here goes my theory. He had just joined the lists, was getting
ready to enter his first email, when the doorbell rang. He got up to
answer the door, kneed the desk where his coffee was sitting right
next to his keyboard, went to catch it, startled the cat who ran
across his keyboard and just caught the mouse button on his way by,
which happened to be pointing at the "Send" button in his email
program.
Can anyone do better?
