Yes. Several friends who got it through the Accmail echo list reported this
problem. The version that came through that list to my Verizon account, also
was unreadable. I also sent the message to the Helix list, which did not echo
it, probably because I had sent it as BCC. Other friends, mostly hot biker
chicks who got it either direct from me or forwarded by mutual friends, sent
good wishes and kind offers of help, and had no trouble reading it, nor was
there anything wrong with the copy I sent direct to my Verizon account.
My suspicion is that the problem has nothing to do with Juno or BCC or anyone's
reader. Rather probably what my Samsung Galaxy 2 Tab 10.1 tablet, running
Android 4.1.1, produces by default, is somehow incompatible with the Freelists
echo software that Accmail uses. However, I'm sending this version completely
differently: Pasted into Verizon Webmail which is accessed through my real
computer. Perhaps in another week I'll have enough vigor to test these things
properly, but for the past week I do little more at the computer than keep up
with my daily Wikipedia vigilante chores.
Lost message here repeated with some additions:
==========================================================================================================
Message to several friends, relatives and acquaintances. Kindly forward to
anyone I may have missed due to my incomplete transfer of addresses to Google.
Some of you know I got hurt a week ago, so you can skip this paragraph. Sunday
evening after a pleasant Wikipedia teaching session at Brooklyn Public Library
and a too big dinner with fellow Wikinuts, I was in a rush to get to the
Brooklyn Bridge before dusk increased the danger of bicycling. I hastily
unlocked and unfolded my little bike and secured my cargo. Unlike the other
thousand times I've done this, I neglected to fasten one of the two twiddlies
that secure the joints. Shortly after crossing Eastern Parkway, the frame
folded and collapsed, throwing me forward onto the sidewalk. My reflexes were
not quick enough to twist my body appropriately, so my face and left hand took
most the impact which would not have much hurt my helmet and shoulder had those
been hit harder.
Rather than ask the kind bystanders to call an ambulance I put my left
spectacle lens in my pocket, inspected for major broken bones, finished folding
the bike and took the IRT subway home. Kind fellow passengers gave me a seat,
and tissue paper to stanch the dribbling blood. Next morning my regular doctor
said the lip was neatly cut and already healing, and everything needed time but
no work except my clearly broken hand. Across town the sports medicine doc's
X-ray confimed the proximally fractured 4 and 5 metacarpals and he put me in a
cast. Day after that I got the eye exam for my new glasses, and my wonderful
dentist replaced the broken off corner of my buck tooth. Not as strong as the
real thing, he warned.
Since then, been spending a week sitting and watching TV when I want to be
biking or at least trotting around town. Saturday my new glasses came and I no
longer need two rubber bands and cellophane tape to see the screen. Walked down
to Times Square Sunday morning for the Half marathon but an arm in a sling and
other lesser but still somewhat painful injuries limit my ability to seek good
camera angles.
Some of you have offered help, and I thank you but I'm managing. Washing dishes
without wetting the plaster cast is so difficult, I've been eating out once a
day and using paper plates at home. The cast leaves room for my workable
fingers to work, so simple cooking only takes about twice the time. Laundry
loads must be smaller than normal. The hardest chore is bathing myself, but any
of my friends who might hope to have their hot little hands on my battered
bodily beauty will not get that excuse.
Day by day my mouth hurts less and otherwise I gradually improve. Perhaps a
week from now I'll be stong enough to trot most the two miles to the fracture
healing progress inspection. If it's going well, then more jogging, unbalanced
due to the weight, ought to partially restore my wind, preparing for the day in
late April when a free hand will let me hit the road again. Might even be
strong enough for the 5 Boro Bike Tour in early May.
