If it were mine, the tail end of the message
would have been forgotten forever. Not so if the
mail program automatically sent out a top part
and a bottom part, each with its separate overhead.

And the latter is what Ruth's software does, automatically, at some apparently predetermined length.... :)

So sounds deliberate, a feature rather than a bug.
Or maybe a feature with a bug.

Not quite... I've learned somewhat what doesn't feel right, and would
take it to my mechanics to check out before it broke... and Richard does sometimes also keep track of that sort of thing...

And the feeling of reassurance is a benefit
of that carefulness.

Not that the car doesn't decide to pull fast ones every so often... no warning, just suddenly a problem... like it just did last week just
before the picnic... but fortunately was an easy fix, and my mechanics
were able to fit it in... :)

Handy to have a few wizards about, even if you
have to pay some of them.

Hard or soft crunch? I usually prefer the soft
crumbly kind.

Not too hard, but not soft crumbly, either....

The Asian brand turned out to be in between as
you implied but closer to the subtle end than
the hard brittle end.

And now I'm hooked again... (G) Bought a package for myself today when
we went shopping.... the one I brought to the picnic was easily finished
off there... ;)

Ah, well, at least it's not a particularly
costly indulgence.

The dog, whose paw is sore, came up to me in
sympathy when I stubbed my toe just a few minutes
ago, points in her favor. She has bad breath,
points against.

Poor thing... ;)

She is in the double digits in human years.

Getting into geriatric-ness...

Well into.

I might remember in a hour or so when we go to the store today... we'll see.... (G)

Veni, vidi, vicisti.

And I did remember, and voila, there they were at the picnic... (G)

Probably deliberate... possibly something that could be configured to
cut it longer, but possibly not.... BlueWave has a setting to configure
that sort of thing for message length... I just have it disabled, and do
my own length-editing....

Indeed.

crumbly kind.

When it's just me eating it (with a little help from Richard, maybe),
the package lasts pretty long... ;)
