Part of the problem is that people insist on using hostile mail services. Every time anyone puts together a decent upas tutorial it gets immediately tripled in size by workarounds required for GMail. The overcomplicated GMail version becomes oral legend, so nobody knows what things to do for normal email and what things to do for bad email. I don't know who wrote it, but there's a nice document at http://wiki.9front.org/upas-theory which works well as a "what does this piece do again?" refresher. khm ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T88b1ba241b319a33-M40190bc859e969681b90aa80 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
