Alright, The javascript blocker that tries to make you listen to the whole thing is removed, and I brought back the << >> buttons so you can skip ones people submitted already. What I'll probably do is track down why the blocker wasn't firing, and then instead of blocking, I'll just use that as a hidden form submit field that says how much of the submission you listened to. That could be an interesting side stat to collect to see if people make snap judgements. Anyway, sorry guys! -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/
Hey all, I've been out of town and out of sorts for a while, I've only been watching the list on occasion. Last time I submitted, the body of my email became the text of the details for my submission. This time it didn't seem to go through. I use gmail, so I'm guessing I need to adjust the settings, though I don't believe I've changed anything since last time. Thanks, -- d On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 11:29 AM, Zed A.

I don't, and gmail works fine for me. Do you handle HTML, Zed?

I got a buddy who's written a bad ass HTML email to text email converter, I should probably steal it from him. -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/
Use default text encoding for outgoing messagesUse Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages Seems to be my only two choices...it did work last time. On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 6:12 PM, Zed A.

Ah, so looking at these emails I see: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="===============1577549277178634666==" In the headers and then a text and HTML part. It looks like the receiver isn't taking out the text part when this mime type is used. I'll fix that up, until then just go in and disable rich text formatting like Hank said. -- Zed A.

I couldn't find it either ... I had to google it! ... felt like an idiot then with it staring in my face on every page. Glad I wasn't the only one. On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 6:30 PM, Zed A.

Right in the "compose message" window above where you type, there is a link switch that changes text / html (which they call "rich formatting") On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 6:15 PM, Doug Sparling <doug.sparling@gmail.com>wrote: > Use default text encoding for outgoing messages Use Unicode (UTF-8) > encoding for outgoing messages > > Seems to be my only two choices...it did work last time. > > > On Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 6:12 PM, Zed A.

Yeah I saw that, can you send me an email directly (zedshaw@zedshaw.com) from the same account? I'll take a look. -- Zed A. Shaw http://zedshaw.com/
