Secret messages? Or is NSA sucking too hard?
This I can solidly attribute (at least in my case) to the fact that BlackBerry 10 devices only send emails with a text/html part and no text/plain part. I've seen this cause problems in a few places - notably in services that automatically parse emails for replying to forums/chat/etc. (Discourse & kato.im and now the nanog list which strips text/html). Somewhere I have a nice little python snippet I wrote for extracting text out of the html. It's convenient when you're *expecting* it (you can use the html div information to separate out the actual reply vs. the signature vs. the quoted text) but when you're expecting to be able to use text/plain, it's just not there. (arguments over who is being a worse Internetizen - BB for not having text/plain or Mailman/Mimedel for stripping out text/html when there's no text/plain are not included in this :D ) M. -- Michael Brown | The true sysadmin does not adjust his behaviour Systems Administrator | to fit the machine.
