I made this tweak purely for selfish reasons, but some of you who use the AQ mail forwarding to your real e-mail address or write your AQ mails from your favorite e-mail client, you can benefit too. =)

Especially if you use a free e-mail service such as Yahoo or Hotmail. They have a bad habit of adding annoying little signatures to the end of every message you send promoting their services or whatever. You can't stop it.

Until now.

If you end your e-mail with "#end" (without the quotes) on a line by itself, everything that comes after it will be ignored and NOT included as the AQ mail message.

You can also use it instead of deleted a quoted reply that's automatically added to the end of your messages (if you want). Just type #end at the end of your message, and the rest of the e-mail will not be included in the forwarded message after going through the AQ system.

Make sense?

That's how I'm able to post messages to my blog with those annoying little PocketMail promotional tags at the end of the post since I am sending them with e-mail using PocketMail and that's what gave me the idea. If you've gotten AQ mail from me when I mailed it through PocketMail, you've seen the promotional tags they add.

But no more! I'll just type #end at the end of my message, and AQ will ignore everything that comes after it. =)

Just an FYI for those who want to make use of the new tweak.

Happy trails!

Now back to working on your toes for the night? ;-)

I can't believe you are tweaking as you go. Amazing.

We're reading and enjoying following the trail. Hope it continues to go well.

Good news--that big black hunk of flesh on my pinky toe finally fell off this evening. =)

What did you do, put "#end" in front of it?

Thanks for thinking of us. Of course I am never using AQ at that time of day - I'm at work ;-)

DM (Oh dear my nose has just grown)

The maintenance outage has come and passed. From the e-mails that support sent me, it looks like AQ was down between 2:05 and 2:26 eastern time and all is running well. =)

Happy trails!

Thanks for the Valentine =o) It sure is nice to see your new tortuga in person! Quite a happy addition to an otherwise frustrating day.

Cheers!

my valentine came today too. last year I got one while those boxers who live with me didn't, and we wondered if the difference was that I was the only premium member in the house... but this year there are two of us with green hats, and I was the only one who got a valentine... and I see rhea got one without a green hat... so it can't be green hats... hmmm...

now I've got to think on what the criteria is for getting wonderful valentines from the great green one...

but I'm sure glad I have one! in fact, I have one of each of his stamps...

I have a Green Hat... I was thinking it was the hats too... maybe the other one is just delayed...

Rhea

so it can't be green hats

If I remember correctly from last year, it has more to do with who purchased calendars, because those are the people that Ryan has addresses for--or something like that.

ahhh...that would make sense... thanks nitrocat!

{{If I remember correctly from last year, it has more to do with who purchased calendars, because those are the people that Ryan has addresses for--or something like that.}}

You guys are getting Valentines from Ryan in the snail mail? How fun!

I purchased a 2007 calendar with no green hat and didn't get a Valentine last year.

I did not purchase a 2008 calendar, but now I do have a green hat... as of yet, I have not received a calendar.

I purchased a 2007 calendar with no green hat and didn't get a Valentine last year.

I mailed out Valentines for everyone who ordered a calendar since I had their addresses, so you should have gotten one last year unless your address changed or it got lost in the mail. Green hats had nothing to do with it.

-- Ryan

Wah, I didn't get my valentine :( Good thing another boxer loved me and sent me one!

Maybe it will come today.

Maiden

Wah, I didn't get my valentine

They only got mailed on Monday afternoon, so I figure this year's batch is largely still making it's way through the postal system. I figure most people will likely get them today, and some people probably get them tomorrow (especially international folks, who might not get them for several days).

-- Ryan

well, now that you're on the boards, I'll thank you again in person for the valentine. Thanks :-)

and thanks for clearing up the who and why of the valentines too.

and thanks also for inspiring me to hike and get my lame bahouda away from the computer... 4 miles down 136 to go as of this morning, on my section hike of the Sun Circle Trail... :-)

night writer

We didn't order a calendar since we receive one each year full of grandchildren photos. :-)

But we still feel as if we receive a Valentine from Ryan each and every time we log onto Atlas Quest.

Thanks big green jelly toes.

Grumpy Grinch

Thanks for the card, Ryan! It's fun to get a chance to see your stamp in person!

Batty Girl

Yeah! My card came today right on Valentime. I was worried I wouldn't get it since we moved last Monday... but I checked the old mailbox when I was de-gunking the last boxes out of the old house and there it was! It made moving (GACK!!!!) a little more pleasant.

Carianna of the GG

It made moving (GACK!!!!) a little more pleasant.

Congratulations!

I'm glad you found a new place!

We just went through that last summer - I'm happy that we have more room, but I don't want to go through the moving hassle again anytime soon ;)

Mariette

Hee hee! I couldn't figure out what everyone was talking about, and then I got mine today! Thanks, Green One, you're a peach!

Hey, can you guys log these Valentines as finds? Perhaps under "other"?

I like the Presidents theme, But I bet there's one angry Yellow Chick (Marjorie) pouting somewhere. LOL Couldn't you have stuck her somewhere on the page?

Maybe she's at the polls. Now there's an even better reason to be pouting rather than being here.

Yes, they were.
