Interesting note that I discovered in pine yesterday and only correctly identified today... I'm on a few ezine lists, and have been for quite a while. Only yesterday did I actually scroll down to the bottom of one of the messages (past all the advertisements, etc.). At the bottom was a note that did not look like it was part of the letter -- indeed, it turns out to be a message from pine itself:
[ Note: This message contains email list management information ]
where the "email list management information" is a menu option. Selecting it brings up a pine screen explaining that the message contains meta information that can automatically unsubscribe you from the list... select here to unsubscribe. Not a difficult thing to implement, but I've just never seen pine be able to do this before, so it must be some kind of standard.
Indeed, it turns out that a line in the message's header triggers it (names changed to protect the guilty):
List-Unsubscribe:
And it seems that pine can handle more than just List-Unsubscribe -- there must be some set of approved tokens after List- that pine knows how to handle. Interesting random note.
Lummy and I rented the Fight Club DVD last night so that he could see it ("The first rule of the LSC is that you do not talk about the LSC. The second rule of the LSC is that you do not talk about the LSC!"). The plan was to watch it on his new Viao (I know... don't even bother mentioning it...). We got back to our hotel (Skanky, Inc.), but the DVD wouldn't play. With a little further investigation, we discovered that the DVD decoding software had not been loaded. Lummy's playing with it now (the Win2K CD was here at the office); we'll give it a whirl later.
I noticed today that Ace of Base's song Wave Wet Sand has some satellite-like noises in the background (not that I've ever actually heard a satellite making noises, but I've seen enough movies to know exactly what they sound like such that I can pick them out of a lineup without any hesitation. "Yes officer, #3 is the same exact sound from the KDP1138 from Enemy of the State"). Coincidence, or plot? Only higher volumes and sleep-induced learning will tell.
Back to proofing the GGCL stuff...
