| cmaloney | God, I wish Outlook would find a convenient fire and die in it | 13:28 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Customer is noticing issues with text email in outlook (and outlook alone as every other client seems to be fine) | 13:29 |
| cmaloney | Attaches .msg file. I can't open .msg file because reasons (even with Outlook 2010) | 13:29 |
| cmaloney | The only way to save the message source requires a registry hack as Outlook splits things apart because reasons | 13:30 |
| mrgoodcat | sry bout your lots | 13:30 |
| cmaloney | .msg files are impossible to read with a text editor because MS has a binary fetish | 13:30 |
| mrgoodcat | likely they think they're protecting users from themselves | 13:31 |
| mrgoodcat | outlook has pretty much just become a billboard on my desk though. anything important comes through the slack channel these days | 13:32 |
| cmaloney | Oh I'm sure it makes sense from a "Outlook is all you need" perspective | 13:32 |
| mrgoodcat | s/outlook/email/ | 13:32 |
| mrgoodcat | i can't wait for email to die in favor of simpler realtime messaging | 13:32 |
| cmaloney | It's not email's fault Outlook is a piece of shit | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | I like my async communcation thank you very much. :) | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | I don't need a real-time funnel strapped to me | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | Oh, and some Java-based .msg reader from Sourceforge said the following: derp! | 13:35 |
| brousch | cmaloney: http://clusterbleep.net/blog/2012/04/18/a-free-viewer-for-microsoft-outlook-msg-files/ | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | That's what went "derp" on this file. | 13:47 |
| brousch | darn | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | thanks, though. | 13:48 |
| brousch | I think that's my most popular blog post of all time | 13:49 |
| cmaloney | I'd believe it | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | And my blood pressure is now rising explaining why .msg files are essentially useless to me. | 13:54 |
| cmaloney | Need more fires | 13:55 |
| brousch | Most .msg files are just the same content as the part you can read | 13:57 |
| brousch | At least the part you can read in Gmail | 13:57 |
| mrgoodcat | try it in a hex editor | 14:03 |
| _stink_ | $ strings whatever.msg | 14:11 |
| _stink_ | ? | 14:11 |
| _stink_ | just throwing that out there | 14:11 |
| jrwren | find a unicode version of strings. | 14:13 |
| jrwren | maybe its a virus | 14:14 |
| jrwren | its infected outlook and its msg writer | 14:14 |
| jrwren | and so any "save" functionality is actually writing malware in case you double click it. | 14:15 |
| cmaloney | Maybe Outlook is just a steaming pile of shit that should be nuked from orbit, just to make sure. | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | and in trying to help out it instead does exactly what I don't want it to do | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | because | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | Microsoft has their reasons | 14:26 |
| cmaloney | Which invariably mean I get to have all the headaches | 14:27 |
| cmaloney | Dippy outlook is reformatting the messages that we're sending as plain text | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | trying to remove extra line feeds | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | because reasons | 14:37 |
| mrgoodcat | i wish plain text emails were the only thing that worked | 14:38 |
| mrgoodcat | get rid of the web browser in my email thank you | 14:38 |
| mrgoodcat | I don't even need <a> tags. Just making url's clicky would be good enough for me | 14:38 |
| cmaloney | ^^ | 14:40 |

| jrwren | i wish email didn't exist. | 14:43 |
| cmaloney | We'd have to invent it | 14:43 |
| cmaloney | How's the afternoon? | 17:24 |
| jrwren | apple zomg. | 17:24 |
| jrwren | ipad pro | 17:24 |
| jrwren | zomg | 17:24 |
| jrwren | how is your afternoon ? | 17:24 |
| jrwren | oh, and Lessig announced his candidacy. If I didn't have this infection, I'd be having an awesome day. | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | Refreshingly iPad free. :) | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | Though I am glad to see we're moving back to 13" laptops. ;) | 17:25 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: :) | 17:25 |
| brousch | http://mashable.com/2015/03/08/lenovo-yoga-tablet-2-pro-review/ | 17:26 |
| jrwren | brousch: is it an ipad? | 17:26 |
| jrwren | I want the one with the most GeeBees | 17:26 |
| brousch | No, it's is better | 17:27 |
| brousch | Android + bigger = better | 17:27 |
| jrwren | false | 17:27 |
| jrwren | android is like NaN. any comparison or operation is false. | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | I think that's more true of Apple | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | Android can compare with Windows | 17:28 |
| cmaloney | Apple doesn't compare with anything else | 17:29 |
| jrwren | hrm. good point. | 17:29 |
| brousch | I often compare Apple to a pile of feces | 17:29 |
| cmaloney | It's more of a religion or a feeling. It's a pile of intangibles | 17:29 |
| jrwren | brousch: zomg me too! | 17:29 |
| cmaloney | Road Apples? | 17:29 |
| jrwren | hrm... i'll change topics. | 17:30 |
| jrwren | anyone know for a source of road pears? I have enough apples, but would like some pears. | 17:30 |
| cmaloney | Give me some more roughage. | 17:30 |

| cmaloney | Did they release a smart-cover keyboard? | 18:47 |
| cmaloney | Because... | 18:47 |
| jrwren | brousch: omg! | 18:58 |
| cmaloney | Yep | 19:19 |
