for a real good time combine tnef-ensnared email forwards and pretty much any webmail

someone replied to and forwarded a rather imflammatory email but somehow it didn't encapsulate it

so everyone's outlook got

The original message, verbatim, with the new person's from/sender

and a series of attachments comprising of the real reply that no one could see

:laugh:

yeah, but even exchange uses semi-standard x.400/x.500 and straight smtp to AD mapping for their internal fuckery. gmail makes it look like an smtp header but with a completely invalid address

x.400 was not a standard in any meaningful sense

you're just accustomed to exchange. and exchange documents their fuckery.

they also don't take a know standards compliant header format and silently break it in a way that looks right but completely fails to work

i'm reasonably certain that gmail doesn't internally. they do some weird, nonstandard message header fuckery that ensure that mail sent or received within gmail will completely loving break if exported and hosted elsewhere

whether or not it's non-competitive fuckery, i definitely remember someone years back showing that gmail->gmail messages were basically database transactions rather than full emails. i mean it's not like you really need to use your external protocols/apis for internal mail, and lord knows google does not give a gently caress about dogfooding.

no poo poo. it's actually a well documented standard implemented by multiple vendors, basically the first choice for anyone who wants multi-platform mail calendar and contact sync in an integrated system.

so of course google dropped it

quote:

When we launched Google+ over three years ago, we had a lot of restrictions on what name you could use on your profile. This helped create a community made up of real people, but it also excluded a number of people who wanted to be part of it without using their real names.

Over the years, as Google+ grew and its community became established, we steadily opened up this policy, from allowing +Page owners to use any name of their choosing to letting YouTube users bring their usernames into Google+. Today, we are taking the last step: there are no more restrictions on what name you can use.

We know you've been calling for this change for a while. We know that our names policy has been unclear, and this has led to some unnecessarily difficult experiences for some of our users. For this we apologize, and we hope that today's change is a step toward making Google+ the welcoming and inclusive place that we want it to be. Thank you for expressing your opinions so passionately, and thanks for continuing to make Google+ the thoughtful community that it is.

in six months google will announce "only 0.72% of our users user a pseudonym instead of their real name" and they will conclude that "everyone actually wants to use their real name" instead of "nobody actually uses google+". also i have been posting "heil hilter 14/88" to every youtube video i have watched for the last 2 years under my real name, who the gently caress cares if i start using a pseudonym at this point.
