[13:28] God, I wish Outlook would find a convenient fire and die in it [13:29] Customer is noticing issues with text email in outlook (and outlook alone as every other client seems to be fine) [13:29] Attaches .msg file. I can't open .msg file because reasons (even with Outlook 2010) [13:30] The only way to save the message source requires a registry hack as Outlook splits things apart because reasons [13:30] sry bout your lots [13:30] .msg files are impossible to read with a text editor because MS has a binary fetish [13:31] likely they think they're protecting users from themselves [13:32] outlook has pretty much just become a billboard on my desk though. anything important comes through the slack channel these days [13:32] Oh I'm sure it makes sense from a "Outlook is all you need" perspective [13:32] s/outlook/email/ [13:32] i can't wait for email to die in favor of simpler realtime messaging [13:34] It's not email's fault Outlook is a piece of shit [13:34] I like my async communcation thank you very much. :) [13:34] I don't need a real-time funnel strapped to me [13:35] Oh, and some Java-based .msg reader from Sourceforge said the following: derp! [13:47] cmaloney: http://clusterbleep.net/blog/2012/04/18/a-free-viewer-for-microsoft-outlook-msg-files/ [13:47] That's what went "derp" on this file. [13:47] darn [13:48] thanks, though. [13:49] I think that's my most popular blog post of all time [13:54] I'd believe it [13:54] And my blood pressure is now rising explaining why .msg files are essentially useless to me. [13:55] Need more fires [13:57] Most .msg files are just the same content as the part you can read [13:57] At least the part you can read in Gmail [14:03] try it in a hex editor [14:11] <_stink_> $ strings whatever.msg [14:11] <_stink_> ? [14:11] <_stink_> just throwing that out there [14:13] find a unicode version of strings. [14:14] maybe its a virus [14:14] its infected outlook and its msg writer [14:15] and so any "save" functionality is actually writing malware in case you double click it. [14:26] Maybe Outlook is just a steaming pile of shit that should be nuked from orbit, just to make sure. [14:26] and in trying to help out it instead does exactly what I don't want it to do [14:26] because [14:26] Microsoft has their reasons [14:27] Which invariably mean I get to have all the headaches [14:36] Dippy outlook is reformatting the messages that we're sending as plain text [14:37] trying to remove extra line feeds [14:37] because reasons [14:38] i wish plain text emails were the only thing that worked [14:38] get rid of the web browser in my email thank you [14:38] I don't even need tags. Just making url's clicky would be good enough for me [14:40] ^^ [14:41] https://www.reddit.com/r/Michigan/comments/3k8n5p/you_know_an_ad_is_a_scam_when_the_picture_doesnt/ [14:43] i wish email didn't exist. [14:43] We'd have to invent it [17:24] How's the afternoon? [17:24] apple zomg. [17:24] ipad pro [17:24] zomg [17:24] how is your afternoon ? [17:25] oh, and Lessig announced his candidacy. If I didn't have this infection, I'd be having an awesome day. [17:25] Refreshingly iPad free. :) [17:25] Though I am glad to see we're moving back to 13" laptops. ;) [17:25] cmaloney: :) [17:26] http://mashable.com/2015/03/08/lenovo-yoga-tablet-2-pro-review/ [17:26] brousch: is it an ipad? [17:26] I want the one with the most GeeBees [17:27] No, it's is better [17:27] Android + bigger = better [17:27] false [17:28] android is like NaN. any comparison or operation is false. [17:28] I think that's more true of Apple [17:28] Android can compare with Windows [17:29] Apple doesn't compare with anything else [17:29] hrm. good point. [17:29] I often compare Apple to a pile of feces [17:29] It's more of a religion or a feeling. It's a pile of intangibles [17:29] brousch: zomg me too! [17:29] Road Apples? [17:30] hrm... i'll change topics. [17:30] anyone know for a source of road pears? I have enough apples, but would like some pears. [17:30] Give me some more roughage. [18:45] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COenroJWEAAjLoi.jpg [18:47] Did they release a smart-cover keyboard? [18:47] Because... [18:58] brousch: omg! [19:19] Yep
