Actually the world could end. Imagine you have but moments to defuse a trillion

ticking in the Oval Office. Q has sent you a link in the subject line to the

he hasn't realised that the link is not active in the subject line, and in the 
time it takes you to select, copy & paste...

Re: Mini-GESO: Monarch Pupae

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I have them in a mesh cage so that birds and insects can not get to them.
Most birds and some insects, like mantises, avoid monarchs and monarch
caterpillars because they are toxic, from the milkweed that they eat.

I do not attach the eggs.  It would be impossible, as they are much smaller
than the period in a printed book.  I buy them form the "Butterfly Lady" in
PA:  http://www.monarchs-and-milkweed.com/Monarch%20Larvae.htm

I received a small milkweed plant with more than 10 eggs attached to it.
So far, the newly hatched caterpillars are still on that small plant, and
eating it up rapidly.  In addition to several milkweed plants I planted in
the yard, a have several growing on my deck in pots, and will move the cats
there when their original milkweed plant is just about used up.  I have
netting that I will place over the pots and plants to protect the pupae
from predators.  Under the federal regulations subject to which I bought
the eggs, I can not release the monarch into the environment until they are
adult butterflies.

Fantastic stuff, Dan. Hope the wasps don't find them. BTW, I'm curious 
about how you attached the eggs to the leaves.

Re: Polarizing filters.

[William Robb]

I decided to go with the Zeiss filter. It’s on a 3-4 week backorder, which
should work well, as I’ve been promised the FA 50/1.4 on or around July
20th. I was pointed towards a site that tested a whole bunch of polarizer
and the Zeiss did very well indeed.

Thanks

Bill

Re: a puzzlement..

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I just did some further testing. 

Subject line URLs work fine in standalone iOS Mail.app and macOS Mail.app, but 
do not work in the browser-based mail for iCloud using either Safari or FireFox 
on macOS. :-)

So much for consistency! 

As I said: I used to use this capability with Mail.app on macOS at work. 

Most of the time, however, if I send URL-only to someone now, it's as a txt not 
an email; it's actually a bit awkward to do it with Mail compared to txt… The 
macOS and iOS Message apps process the link, extract an image or preview on 
both the sender's and recipient's txt stream, and add a click-/tap-able region 
to jump to the web page if desired. 

Whether this meets with some set of RFC codes or not I haven't the foggiest, 
nor am I interested to find out. If I had to copy and paste the URL from the 
subject to a browser to get to the link, well, that's clumsy but I suspect the 
world wouldn't end…

 :-)

That may be true for (most) browser-based email clients, but there still ARE 
people
that use a dedicated email program :)

I know I do, and while it is perfectly capable of displaying HTML email 
contents,
when needed, it does NOT do anything with a link embedded in the subject line.

I am pretty the sure the RFC for email does not allow links there either,
but nobody seems to care about standard compliance these days ...

In the UK they call it ''toplining'' and it's used widely within workplaces, 
particularly in business workplaces. It's almost like sending a text by email, 
except you just read the subject line and not the body of the email.

Not surprised that the younger generation are using it widely - just to 
obfuscate the previous generation ;-)
