0708 -
070801 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000, ref SDS 1 0000.
070802 -
070803 - Got the answer on how to incorporate SDS and other stuff with HTML
070804 - into Netscape compositions.  Found this was used initially in 1998,
070805 - then Morris asked me to use webmail.  He and others could not read
070806 - HTML in their email programs.  So for over two years we didn't have to
070807 - use Attach, because everything is tied together in SDS.  But, Morris
070808 - now prefers stuff in email because clicking takes too much time, even
070809 - though they click all day at Intel.
070810 - ..
070811 - Sent ref DIT 1 0001 thanking Eric for help. Linked to this
070812 - record as case study that may support DKR efforts.  Cited record of
070813 - Colloquium discussion about "ontology" that leads to Pandora's Box,
070814 - per below. ref SDS 0 0897

071202 - Attach Function in Netscape Incorporates HTML in Composition Space
071203 -
071204 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Eric Armstrong who is the discussion
071205 - leader for Doug Engelbart's Colloquium at Stanford, per the work on
071206 - 000120. ref SDS 9 4466

071208 - Eric responds to a letter I sent yesterday, that was not entered in
071209 - the record, asking how to get SDS records in HTML to display in
071210 - Netscape's email.  He sent an email to the Colloquium that included an
071211 - HTML rendered article on Microsoft.  So I sent him a letter asking how
071212 - he did it, because Morris has been asking me to include correspondence
071213 - and SDS records in the email, so he does not have to click to go get
071214 - it.
071215 -
071216 - Eric sent an initial letter saying he does not know how Netscape
071217 - attaches web addresses so the content displays in the email.
071218 -
071219 - I wrote back asking...
071220 -
071221 -       How did you get the MS article in your email to the team on
071222 -       000222?
071223 -
071224 - Eric's letter today says...
071225 -
071226 -     Like I said: I attached it, using the standard "attach" button.
071227 -     There's nothing special in my preferences that I can see, and I
071228 -     even told the system to default to plain text authoring.

071233 - Pandora's Box Organizing Information for Knowledge Management
071234 - Lost in Meaning Space - Attach Means Include, Copy into, Incorporate
071235 -
071236 - This is another example of the meaning drift problem, set out in
071237 - POIMS, and noticed recently on 000221 by the Colloquium at Stanford
071238 - discussing the Pandora's Box that arises from organizing information
071239 - for effective knowledge. ref SDS 10 7455
071240 -
071241 - On 980316 I was aware that Netscape has an Attach button, and that it
071242 - causes information at a specified URL address to display in the email
071243 - as HTML. ref SDS 2 2040
071244 -
071245 - However, on 980329 switched to webmail because some people complained
071246 - they could not read the HTML in their email programs. ref SDS 4 3343
071247 - Since, by then everyone had a web browsers, we just started linking
071248 - out to the letter on the web.  People reported this worked well, e.g.,
071249 - on 990602. ref SDS 5 0001, and on 990909. ref SDS 7 0001
071250 -
071251 - Experience using this method revealed advantages, reported on 990804.
071252 - ref SDS 6 1280  There is flexibility for correcting mistakes that
071253 - routinely occur in email, for example, reported on 991230, ref SDS 8
071254 - 7840, without increasing complexity of the record, which otherwise
071255 - causes more mistakes.
071256 -
071257 -    An example is the letter today, that has "...the the composition,"
071258 -    which I noticed after transmitting the letter.  I corrected the
071259 -    version on the web, but cannot access or get back the email.
071260 -
071261 - On 991009, the person who suggested webmail on 980329, suddenly wanted
071262 - email instead.  This lead to a search for the prior method.
071263 -
071264 - How can we deliver HTML in email, and retain advantages of webmail?
071265 -
071266 - We could put a notice in the letter to click on a link to the webmail
071267 - for the latest version.  The reader can decide what to do.  Actually,
071268 - it might be simpler.  Most every letter is linked to an SDS record of
071269 - origin, which has a link to the version on the web, per above.
071270 - ref SDS 0 7644  This gives readers the ability to get the version on
071271 - the web, for last second corrections.  If time is short they can go
071272 - with the email version.
