I think its fine to mix them, but not actually tried it. Its mainly the gui that is the issue and each is local to that copy so really should not affect things unless I'm misreading the data.

How are they sending it to you? If its a cloud service the person the other end has maybe password protected it. However I think we will start to see this more if the EU get their way on making services vet uploaded content.

Re: weird symbols

It depends. Obviously they're are many character sets and if the one used is different it will either be another character or if the language is not loaded or the conversion table not there, then you tend to get the control char and some number that represents the character.

Re: CAPTCHA Be Gone abandoned also?

The simplest thing for such sites to do is to give a way to send to the site admin a message. It would not help a spammer as they will only be sending to a single account, but if one is blind you could be given a special code to bypass the device when you log in.

Re: CAPTCHA Be Gone abandoned also?

Which is ridiculous. The sites using the nasty things should have to repay
those of us forced to use them. I stand by my original stance. Never use one that is not solvable by a blind person. There are many other ways to outwit a spammer and they should use those. One of the best is a graphic which says, do not check this if you are not a spammer. There is no alt tag, but elsewhere in the preamble this is mentioned that any unlabelled check box should be left unchecked. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Re: CAPTCHA Be Gone abandoned also?

No its not there. I think the bigger issue with these is that the wobbly writing is now seldom encountered, it is now the picture description method which is used,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
This no doubt is done to thwart the techniques used by such add ons and spammers. However in doing the deed of making it a picture recognition system they are, in my view, in many countries breaking disability law. If they want to stop spam, they will never win, so why do they keep coming up with terribly bad solutions? Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
