Re: Creating PDF/A from LaTeX source and from existing PDF

2024-07-03 Thread Richard
Well, guess what, I haven't done anything to change the way messages look. The only settings I ever change is how they are displayed to me. And never has anyone ever had an issue with that, in many years. Probably because other people are just not using unusable software. And quite frankly, punishi

If you ever want to be taken seriously, stop spreading such bogus nonsense. Even base64 encoding wouldn't blow up the size that much. No idea what bs mail you are talking about, but for me, both the plain text and html version are said to be 4k in size (by du). Even though that's not that exact, si

Right, because 4x = 10x. Jesus, stop being so ridiculous. Also, there's some magic trick called compression. Human readable text is especially easy to compress, basically negating all those effects. So just stick to reality, everything else is just embarrassing. On Thu, Jul 4, 2024, 16:48 Greg Woo

Not how lossless compression works. The final size depends much more on the content than on how much content there is. By no means it's "proportional". On Thu, Jul 4, 2024 at 10:09 PM Michel Verdier wrote: > Compression reduces the size but it's proportionnal so don't negate the > extra html siz

You really need to better read who writes what. I didn't start the discussion on message sizes due to HTML, I simply ended it because of irrelevance. On Fri, Jul 5, 2024 at 1:30 PM Greg Wooledge wrote: > [...] you chose to shift the topic to message > sizes (which isn't the primary reason HTML e

install it separately if not. It will magically appear in the KDE menu system when installed. After a few weeks, you may like to try different window managers, and even uninstall kde, but it is far and away the easiest way in coming from windows. Oh yes, your other two CDs: use them as coasters. They will be out of date soon enough. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
