I have this info...

"The state of Kansas once passed legislation rounding the value of Pi
from 3.14159265... to an even 3."

...but am not sure what to think about. Any ideas?

Although two little 2s will give only one little 4, never one BIG 4.

TB uses, seems to me, lots of that. At least v3.0.2.10 has some very
specific response to the pi, absolutely fitting "irrational" mode. To
this irrational number it reacts "inconsistently", or it's a consistence
we still have no discovered. It sometimes my header "X-Priority:
3,141592653589793 (Laid Back)" interprets as "normal" and sometimes as
"high" priority. There, now cope with this!

I find it *very* interesting.

And might be once I'll try to experiment more, but now I retire this
header, since it makes confusion around, as I have learned today, and
annoys/upsets people (I didn't know that! Sorry!).

> It is higher than three, so some clients might legitimately think it
> has a higher priority.

Well, it's not very legitimately, though. Since order of priorities is
like follows:

X-Priority: 2 (High)
X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
X-Priority: 4 (Low)

So it should have to tend to the *lower* priority than "normal", which
was actually my intention.

> I'm seeing it as normal priority though.

Thanks, Roelof!

I tend to manipulate with everything which is manipulatable, in most
complicated and magic (confusing?) ways, since my hands and my nervous
system are construed this way and I can't help me. (-: They need
activity.

In this very moment though they are all in glue and grease since I am
chasing a hole in my tire.

User-Agent is done by TB, and X-Priority by X-ray (the later one
disabled, until I estimate the damage).

Let's be careful btw, Mercury is retrograde few days now. And if someone
is prone to tell me it's a bs, think again. (-: Good time for finish
unfinished and for correcting mistakes/omissions. -- There, a free
advice. (-:

I wonder if it has to do with localisation? ie, down here in OZ,
3,141592653589793 is a vastly bigger number than 3.141592653589793

No real idea, I'm just guessing.

This is strange - your emails to the list I always see as 'High Priority" (ie
triggers my "High Priority" filter, which is predicated by the condition
"Priority is 'high'"), but your email direct to me earlier this evening showed
as normal priority.

Both had the header: "X-Priority: 3,141592653589793 (Laid Back)"

Well, apparently you're playing with your headers. A priority of pi is
not what TB uses. It is higher than three, so some clients might
legitimately think it has a higher priority.
I'm seeing it as normal priority though.


As your mailer you're claiming:

MM> User-Agent: Bianfu! (v2.12.00)

So I guess you're manipulating something with X-Ray or the like.
