Hi,

I got this warning when my ISP had some problems. I am running ‘ruby
1.6.7 (2002-03-01) [i686-cygwin]’

f:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:469: warning: already initialized
constant Errno

An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system
lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full. -
“connect(2)”

File: net/protocol.rb version 1.1.37

def connect( otime )

  D "opening connection to #{@addr}..."

  timeout( otime ) {

    @socket = TCPsocket.new( @addr, @port )  # <--- Line 469

  }

end

private :connect

Um, not to be too picky or anything, but many (if not most) of the folks on this
list use text-based E-mail clients, and HTML-formatted messages are often
frowned upon.

Perhaps even more so when the HTML starts like this;

and most of the content consists of

HTML-only messages are definitely annoying, but the message to which this
appears to be a response was a two part MIME deal. The first part was
text/plain, the second was text/html. So shouldn’t a text-based email
client show you the text part, rather than the source for the HTML part–
especially since the HTML came after the text part?

That said, my favorite bit is this:

 

All that style for a space?

This depends on the mail program that is used. The most prominent one
that displays the HTML part is PINE (prefer-plain-text does change
that behavior).

Most text-based mail programs allow piping a message through a
filter. This means that (because Lynx is available for almost any
platform in use) even HTML-only messages are no real problem.

If that is not s special format

<signature
name = “Michael C. Libby”
email= = “x@ichimunki.com”
web-site = “http://www.ichimunki.com/”
public-key = “http://www.ichimunki.com/public_key.txt” />

would be a better choice because it is human-readable.
