Test + Question

[sraun]

First, this is a check to see if I've got e-mail posting working.

Second, I thought there was a URL I pass out that would allow someone
to have a view-only page of all my userpics. But I can't find it in
the LJ help or site navigation. Is my memory totally broken? If not,
what is the URL?

Hmmm - I wonder how LJ deals with the hard carriage-returns at the end of every line?

That answers that question - I'll have to remember to not hit Alt-Q before sending 'post to LJ' e-mails.

Not sure what Alt-Q does in your mail client, but assuming you were talking about the hard carriage returns...

When I do post-by-emails, I put a <lj-raw> up at the top and then explictly add <p> tags to mark my paragraphs (because otherwise with that it would all run together) and <br> if I need just a single line break.

I'm running mutt using emacs as my editor. Shall we dispense with the religious flame-wardiscussion?

Alt-Q is the 'insert new-lines at column 7x' command. If I skip it, I'm sending arbitrarily long lines to LJ, which (from the my admittedly very skimpy testing) LJ seems to be able to deal with nicely.

I'll just send long lines and let LJ format - if I want/need anything more than paragraphs, I can wait until I have access to semagic and do it from there.

I'm using mutt with vim, but I acknowledge emacs's superiority. ;-) I've been thinking about switching to emacs-with-viper for a long time (as I personally like vi's keybindings), and will probably never get around to it.

Your plan sounds like a good one to me. Worst case, you end up editing your posts, if you care enough, and with some line breaks, if you don't. I'm pretty sure you can send whatever line length you want in email.

Userpics:
http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=selenite
(with appropriate username)

Or you can click on the default icon in your info page. Not the most intuitive feature . . .

Thanks! And I'm likely to remember 'click on my default icon' as a way to get to it.
