Re: MIME(?)-decoding in QT

Hello Alexander,

On Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 07:04 GMT +0500, special agents
were informed that Alexander Leschinsky [AL] leaked:

AL As solution can be used trick with creating 128+ macros (one macro for
AL each encoded char), but I'm not _so_ crazy

Why not just escape the %?  %% inserts the character % instead of
evaluating a macro.

You then would have to use sth like PHP's addslashes(), like
%addescapes() which would escape all %s in the string you want to
decode - but passing that string to the %addescapes()-function would
not work either.
TB itself would have to provide a special macro for that.

Hello dAniel,

Wait, how is this macro supposedly running?  If you're using text from
the clipboard, TB shouldn't evaluate the text.  If the text is coming
from the output of a macro, again TB shouldn't evaluate it.  So unless
you're hard coding the % symbol in your QT, this should be a
non-issue...

MOD: Using Mail Inspector and the like

2004-02-25 Thread Leif Gregory 
Hello all,

We do not have a list rule that addresses the use of mail/spam
blocking software (like Mail Inspector) on the lists, and I don't
believe we're going to create one. This is primarily a hope to inform,
and to have this available in the list archives so that people might
see it and understand.

Software like Mail Inspector holds mail from new people until they
respond to a message it sends (like I quoted below.) If you fail to
respond to its request, you'll pretty much end up in their bozo bin
(depending on the software) from then on out.

My personal opinion on the matter is that this is one of the worst
forms of spam protection out there because it requires anyone who
wants to talk to you to have to satisfy the software that they are not
a spammer. It's one thing when you only communicate with family and
friends, but another altogether when you join lists. I do *not*
respond to these requests when they come over a mailing list, and I do
not believe I am the minority. This means that anyone who chooses as I
do, you (the person using similar spam software mentioned) will never
see any posts or replies from us.

If you have a way of disabling the software on a particular address
(such as that for a list), I highly suggest you do it.
