[10:46] *** HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks [12:21] toddf: interjection seems to make the most sense as a way to me [12:22] i never got why they were fighting over top/bottom [12:25] I got the distinct impression that up_the_irons' problem tracking software filtered any responses unless they were top posted [12:25] Most of the ticket systems I deal with have a line "INCLUDE RESPONSE ABOVE THIS LINE" [12:26] And even my company's own will ignore anything below a separator line (e.g. --- Forwarded message below ---) [12:34] Seems like there are still reasons to prefer RT then, even if it certainly has its faults too. [12:36] How would you, as a programmer, implement an email parser for interjection-style responses? [12:36] mike-burns; toddf: any idea when up_the_irons will be around? [12:37] No idea. [12:38] i hate it when ticket systems send me html mail [12:38] or when anything sends me html mail for that matter [12:38] i need some kind of html2ascii translator for email [12:39] *** heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks [12:39] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer [12:39] one thing i've noticed now days is hardly anyone knows how to bounce email with headers intact [12:40] I use w3m for my HTML mail conversion. Mailcap. [12:40] does it convert and then just bring up vim to respond to emails? [12:40] heavysixer: any idea when up_the_irons will be around? [12:41] i use links to see my html emails, but it's like separate context [12:41] mercutio: Yeah, the text gets piped to vim for the response. Though usually I don't have anything to say to someone who sends me HTM Lemails. [12:42] nestea: that i don't [12:42] he's in the Pacific Time Zone [12:43] and tends to work very late. [12:43] mike-burns: heh [12:43] okey dokey, thanks [12:43] i've been kind of wondering about using imap [12:44] haven't started acutally doign anything with it [12:44] but lots of people send pdfs and html mail now days it seems [12:44] so currently i end up bouncing all the pdfs to gmail [12:45] cos i'm reading my mail over ssh [12:45] I use IMAP for my email, and that does provide a solution: I can download it locally or onto my phone (K-9). [12:45] hmm i'd hate to think what my phone would be like with my mail volume [12:45] i currently have 70208 messages in my inbox [12:46] That's close to inbox-zero! [12:46] which is most non mailing list email [12:46] i miss mails even more often if i filter them all into areas or such [12:46] [12:47] You're only 70203 emails away from a managable inbox. [12:47] oh that also includes a whole lot of forurm post messsages [12:47] like when a forum tells you someone said anthing [12:47] Ah. [12:47] i dunno, with that kind of thing i like to be notified, but i don't really want it to stick around in my main mail box hmm [12:48] i could delete them i suppose [12:48] it also includes facebook notifications [12:48] and uhh i joined twitter and linkedin both of which like to randomly message me [12:48] I have five in my personal inbox: one is a note that I just need to write down somewhere, and four are people who want me to give a talk. [12:48] saying "you might like to use our pathetic service more!" [12:48] nice :) [12:49] Oh man, LinkedIn. I refuse to use them just because their spam is bad when I'm not even a member! [12:49] 2766 just frmo one forum hmm [12:49] they email to say someone's replied to a thread i posted in [12:49] not even to me necessarily! [12:50] I filter emails after I've read them. I still get the benefit of one inbox, but I can find the email later. [12:50] and you have to go back onto the forum to actually reply [12:50] yeh filter is why i like to have most things in one place [12:50] like some people section their mail off [12:50] and they're looking for something and cna't find it [12:51] my main penalty is that my email client takes up like 80 mb of ram [12:51] but that's not too much of a concern these days [12:51] I use grep to find things, typically. [12:51] grep is much slower if you don't need to go into message body [12:51] like my mail box is 668M [12:52] Increasingly I use git-grep, which is pretty quick. [12:52] oh does it index or something? [12:52] I don't know the internals. But each email is committed to git with the subject and senders in the commit message, and git seems to be fast at searching that. [12:53] oh this other forum is 24626 messages [12:53] Yipes; my Maildir is 3.2GB. [12:53] Ah; Maildir/.git is 2GB. [12:53] doing the same thing wtih notifying me that someone else posted [12:53] How fun. [12:53] * mercutio moves all the mail [12:54] maildir is slow to du [12:54] I was just thinking the same. [12:54] i have only 2.6gig of emial [12:55] my work email is probably bigger [12:55] and slower hah [12:55] Same here, but I don't know how to run du on Gmail. [12:56] gmail shows you storage used [12:56] at the bottom of the page [12:56] i'm using 0% of my gmail quota i think [12:56] 1% full [12:56] 0.2GB, it says! Huh! [12:56] Using 0.1 GB of your 10.1 GB [12:56] heh [12:57] my work email is stil du'ing [12:57] oh it's on nfs :) [12:57] Hah. [12:57] and maildir [12:57] well a combination [12:57] it's only 1.2 gb [12:57] i think i culled mailing lsits [12:58] i used to rename my inbox and then gzip it sometimes [12:58] but that was mostly clean slate type thinking [12:58] Did you even look in the prior inboxes? [12:59] s/even/ever/ [12:59] I have a .procmailrc that filters into a few mailboxen with .YYYY-MM tagged on the end, I archive after 2-3 months or so.. [12:59] I search prior mailboxes all the time, usually 6months to 2 years later [12:59] My archives are full of painful memories. [13:00] mike: yeh i did! [13:00] it was amsuing to read emails from over 10 yaers ago [13:00] I have a lot of business and personal intermixed and sometimes I leave info in an email because I know I can get back to it .. I should xfer it to ohter places like some addressbook thingey or whatever [13:00] wtf [13:00] chrome randomly crashed [13:00] i wasn't even using it [13:01] mike-burns: pain can be invigorating! [13:01] Yeah! [13:02] toddf: wouldn't it be easier to double filter to another mail box that kept mail fo rlike 3 years? [13:02] err easier to search through [13:03] I wish I had people to email :( [13:03] nestea: You can email support@ a whole bunch! [13:03] nestea: heh [13:04] nestea: just post random messages to linux-kernel mailing list saying that richard stallman is the devil [13:04] and his name should not be associated with linux [13:04] heheh [13:04] GNU/LINUX PLEASE [13:04] haha [13:04] bsd please [13:04] LINUX IS JUST THE KERNEL OK [13:04] :) [13:05] whatever happened to hurd? [13:05] RMS happened to hurd [13:05] actualy I heard a while back that they were almost ready to release it for use or something [13:05] I have no idea what I would use HURD for. [13:06] Linux does laptops well, and *BSD does servers well ... where does HURD fit in? [13:06] hehe [13:07] i dunno, some ai lab? [13:07] fill of middle aged ex-hippies [13:07] what about Plan9 [13:07] does that have a use [13:07] nestea: plan9 was always a research os [13:07] yeah [13:08] I remember installing that once to try to use as a desktop [13:08] lol [13:08] that went swimmingly [13:08] i was looking through squid source code and saw all these ifdef's for news-os [13:08] and i had no idea what it was so i googled [13:08] and apparently it's an old 68k based computer [13:08] that never seemed to go anywhere [13:09] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_NEWS [13:09] ha yeah [13:09] reading now [13:09] What a waste of an ifdef! [13:09] loool [13:09] indeed [13:10] mike-burns: they were all over the place [13:10] squid source is messy [13:10] Needs more aspect-oriented programming. Clearly. [13:10] i was trying to implement tcp fast open [13:10] i was getting rather lost [13:11] i thought i could make my browsing faster :( [13:11] Noble goal. [13:11] it's like 180 msec versus 340 msec [13:11] to request a 20k file [13:11] so it should be noticable [13:11] Nice. [13:12] of course as connections get persistent, or bigger it makes less difference [13:12] but i've been having slow image downloads frmo cnn recently [13:12] and shaving of 160msec+ latency could help [13:13] i got lighttp and apache traffic server to be able to receive tcp fast open requests [13:13] and wget to send them [13:13] but like you need linux 3.7 on server [13:13] linux 3.6 on client [13:14] and 3.7 isn't even out yet [13:14] Heh. Just a small requirement, sure. [13:14] so maybe if i wait a few months someone else will do it [13:14] i'm hoping openbsd implement it [13:15] cos really, if everyone starts doing it, it should speed up the interweb [13:15] And everyone would like that. [13:16] yeh [13:16] well alraedy people are sending larger initial streams [13:16] 10xmss is pretty common now [13:16] cos linux 3.0 or higher default to it [13:17] openbsd did it in 5.1 or 5.2 [13:17] can't remember which [13:17] oh 5.2 [15:46] *** Ehtyar has joined #arpnetworks [15:57] mercutio: mutt has auto html2ascii; if i get an email that is just html, no text part, it converts it [15:57] 107 # Requires copiousoutput entries in .mailcap [15:57] 108 auto_view text/html [15:57] that's the config [15:57] (ignore line numbers) [16:00] nestea: mercutio : believe it or not, i have a few Plan9 VPS customers (dunno what they use it for) [16:00] up_the_irons: oh cool [16:00] yeah up_the_irons I rmemeber someone saying something about it before [16:01] Plan9 is cool imho [16:01] not that I know much :P [16:01] heh mutt takes ages to restart [16:01] if i didn't use tmux i'd get frustrated by it [16:02] oh what [16:02] when there's an ascii and html mail in one it shows the html one :( [16:02] but other than that it seems to work ok [16:03] mercutio: hmm. shows ascii to me [16:04] mercutio: i use offlineimap too, so it loads in an instant for me [16:04] hmm [16:04] alternative_order [16:04] well this email is basicalyl spam anyway [16:04] http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html#ss5.5 [16:04] maybe they're doing something weird [16:06] oh wtf, scanning through email i joined deviantart once and they do plain+html too, but the plain has a url that's like 20+ lines long [16:06] 32 32 5064 [16:06] a 5kb url [16:06] Hah. [16:07] and they have it 6 times!
