Hello Bob Nuckolls, You wrote: " I'll search my ingoing and outgoing
archives to see if

Thank you for your effort to resolve this mystery / aggravation. I had
assumed that it was some failing of my computer arrangement that deprived me
of what information you were trying to convey.
Emacs! usually appeared when you were attempting to place a link to some
information. Here is an example extracted from your July 23, 2009 posting on
transorbs, message # 46078 in the archives:
" Do I correctly deduce from your posting that your
contactor coils are protected by a single transorb?
If so, then it has to be wired as shown in -A- below.
Emacs!
In this configuration, the device HAS to be biased in
the zener conduction mode polarity while coiled power
IS APPLIED."
You can see that there was no way to access the intended information.
Many thanks for your help on this matter.

Why Bob's posts seem to regularly include the "Emacs!" exclaimation is
a mystery I've long puzzled over.
Beats me. I wasn't even aware of it until it popped up
on the List just now . . . and I see it on the webmail
access to the forums. When I get back to the Gyp Hills,
I'll search my ingoing and outgoing archives to see if
it shows up.

I just checked my archives, and the first Emacs showed up in a message
January 2, 2009. Your observation that it is in the place Bob intended
a picture or drawing to show up is accurate. However, the intended
picture was included in my emails as an attachment which shows up at
the bottom of the message. I can also look at the html format of those
messages, and I see a box in the appropriate location with "Emacs!"
inside the box. Looking at the html source, I find this:
If so, then it has to be wired as shown in -A- below.<br><br>
<img src="cid:.0" width=365 height=475 alt="Emacs!"><br><br>
In this configuration, the device HAS to be biased in<br>
Note that the alternate text for the image is "Emacs!", so the problem
is caused by a default setting for alt text for images somewhere in
Bob's email program.

Do not archive

Gee, you guys put up with this for long time before
rattling my cage . . . don't worry about getting "bit",
my rabies shots are current.
I sent myself some e-mails between matronics accounts
with embedded images and they came through as expected.
However, "embedded" appears not to mean that they are
truly merged with the text . . . rather, they're stored
in some sub-directory called "embedded". My email application
also has a directory called "attached" . . . and at first
blush, they appear quite similar.
If I erase the "embedded" images from the directory, lo-and-
behold, the html interpreter blocks out a space for that
image and labels it with "Emacs!". Further, references to
the embedded images at the bottom of the message calles
out a file name and puts a big red X through it to indicate
that it cannot be found.
I don't know how the html text and images are handled through
the list server . . . or stored in the forums archives. But
it would appear that once the image becomes detached from
it's companion text, the Emacs! thing pops up.
There's quite a number of postings that loose some flavor
when the images went away. I wonder if sending them as
attachments is any more stable. OTOH, I could go back to
archiving on my website and linking to the images. But
it IS much less convenient.

Hi Bob,
I suspect the attachment method will be more likely to give good
results as compared to embedding the images. Even lowly text only
email clients can usually handle attachments in some way.
