Talk:2139: Email Settings

Character set: I read the choice to be between ASCII only and non-ASCII only. That is, if you select non-ASCII only then you have no ordinary English letters, no decimal digits, no ordinary punctuation. Rather minimally useful.

Non-unicode can show ordinary English letters, for example the group starting at U+FF0x, but an ASCII system will see it as binary garbage that will generate unexpected beeps, corrupt terminals, and crash old software. 162.158.78.196 20:23, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

ASCII, OLD ASCII, which is characters 0-127, includes ONLY CAPS, plus the common punctuation and whitespace. The lower case letters are all part of EXTENDED ASCII. So, limiting to old ASCII, is limiting to all-caps, and limiting to only the second half of ASCII is even worse, as it has all the lower case letters, but, not only no caps, but also no punctuation, whitespace, or numerals. I'll leave it to someone with a login to make the correction.

ASCII 0-127 includes _both_ uppercase and lowercase. 162.158.78.196 20:23, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Show unread email count: Wording in the graphic is ambiguous for me. Does show unread email count on my projected day of death mean a) show, today, what will be the count on my projected day of death, or b) wait to show any count until the very day I will probably to die. Choice a is indeed probably depressing. Choice b is more of a pop-up surprise if you didn't know it was coming, saying Hey, buddy, here's your final score, well done.

I interpreted the unread email count as you laid out in option "b," this could be a reference to the relatively new features of social networks which create "memorialized" profiles for members who died. This number would undoubtedly be like a memorial, provided you actually died on that day. If you didn't die it would be like a pop-up. It could also be a simple exaggeration of the statement that you'd rather not see your number, as seeing the number is depressing. 172.69.70.59 15:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC) Sam

I was going to edit the page with specifics on when html e-mail came into use, because I was sure I was using/experimenting with html in e-mail as early as 20 years ago. But looking at the wikipedia page on the topic seems to suggest that the adoption was much sooner than that, but I can still remember using html when I was a teenager, so I'm not sure what's going on here... 172.69.70.59 15:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC) Sam

I certainly remember sending emails with HTML formatting back in the late 90's. IIRC, I was using Netscape Communicator(?) and it used html snippets in an otherwise ascii email. At my first job in the early oughts, I had to manage an email subscription list for a newsletter that used mime-encoded multipart html emails. Not all the subscribers could see the html part, and I think AOL users often got gibberish due to bad support for mime-encoded messages in the AOL email client. --172.68.46.77 16:00, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Seems to be that since the first option says 'reply functionality' the option which says 'Forward to Address Book' does not allow you to type a reply. Rather than 'forwarding your reply to your address book' I believe this would simply forward the email to everyone in your address book. Make sense as a joke at the expense of people who just forward emails/email chains. 172.69.44.144 16:26, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Despite what the explanation currently indicates, "reply all" definitely means reply to all recipients of the original email. 172.69.70.59 21:15, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Any idea why the dialog uses a Right-to-Left (RTL) formatting? 141.101.99.131 18:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Having the text right next to the radiobuttons/tickboxes makes it much easier to identify which button belongs to which setting.--Lupo (talk) 04:42, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

I agree with the previous reply, but I think you mean "right-aligned" formatting instead of "RTL" formatting, which usually means the letters are actually ordered from right to left in reverse order. I don't think radio buttons are typically displayed on the right side of the label though. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 11:46, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Google and vacation

Google knows when you're on vacation by comparing your present cellphone GPS coordinates to your typical gps coordinates. They also always know your location via IP, to some extent. 108.162.242.23 02:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

That doesn't work necessarily, you could be on a work trip.SDSpivey (talk) 17:35, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Don't forget that any of this technology is probably founded on Microsoft (doesn't)Works. 103.22.200.120 02:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

If you are going as a guest, offer to bring an Floraspring appetizer or side dish. At most BBQs and parties, there is no shortage of high-calorie, high-fat foods. Do something different and bring a fruit salad made with some in-season delicacies like berries, cherries, peaches, and watermelon. Or prepare a platter of cut-up fresh veggies like cucumbers, carrots, celery, asparagus tips, cherry tomatoes, and radishes. Bring along a few dips such as hummus, guacamole, low-fat bean dip, and salsa. These go great with homemade or baked pita chips, too. This way you are guaranteed some choices that allow you to stick with your healthy diet.Move away from the buffet table. There will likely be a table or two filled with appetizers and other food, drinks, and desserts. Hanging out in this area is almost a guarantee that you'll overeat. Get yourself a plate of food and walk away.

Watch what you drink. If alcohol is on the menu, select a light beer or wine spritzer. Both are refreshing and lower in calories than most other alcoholic beverages. However, be mindful that alcohol is like a double edge sword; it quickly adds extra calories and lowers your inhibitions to eat more. Your best bet is to stick with ice water, sparkling water, unsweetened iced tea, and other non-caloric beverages.If you are hosting the party, try grilling up some fruit. As the natural sugar in the fruit caramelizes, it develops a unique sweetness. Put a little dab of butter on whole, peeled bananas and quartered peaches before grilling. Strawberries and other small pieces of fruit can be folded in aluminum foil so they don't fall through the grill grates. Sprinkle on a bit of sugar and they will turn soft and smoky. Served over a scoop of low fat vanilla ice cream, this delicious dessert will surely impress your guests.

Take advantage of this time of year to boost your weight loss with healthy eating. Whether you're grilling at home or eating out at a BBQ or party, summer provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy delicious, healthy meals. The abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, combined with the opportunity to grill foods, offers many tasty alternatives to the high-calorie, fatty foods we often associate with summer.Losing weight at any age is not easy even though some of the so-called experts tell us it is. You have to want to lose weight before you even begin, so building up your mindset should be the first thing. If you can change the way you think, then you can tackle any challenge put to you.
