  • Pluto not happy.

    From Dave Plowman (News)@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 28 18:44:57 2021
    Got an email from a pal in the US. I've had lots from him before.

    Pluto, on attempting to open it gave the error 'much quit immediately' or somesuch, but did the usual writing to the HD before quitting. Loaded
    Pluto again - same thing. So a dodgy email. Asked my pal to re-send it.
    Same thing.

    Exported it, and it did open in a text editor. Via Apple Mail, and by the context contained a pic. Do Apple use a proprietary picture format?

    Pluto will only open an attached file if/when you ask it, not when you
    view the atrticle. Note an exported file will be no help. Apple may be
    using an 'unusual' format for the complete message, I suppose.

    If you extract the message from !Pluto.Backups.Mail21mmdd, then put it
    in a zip and send it to me at my address in the Help I will have a
    look at it.
