An amusing thing is that there is undoubtedly a whole segment of the readership here that has already remembered the days when the multitude of "mbox" mailbox formats caused bodies to be interpreted as headers in much the same way as patch is interpreting human-readable messages as patching instructions.

And that has remembered Bernstein on the subject of parsing and quoting, too.

Strictly speaking, it's DJB who's the newbie. Taking that long to come up with cyclog. (-:

In the early 1990s, work had taken me away from Unices to the world of PCs and compatibles.

(It's called multilog now, for anyone following along who might be scratching xyr head. Yes, multilog was 21st century. DJB's first iteration was cyclog, though.)

Funny when you think I was hanging out with Daniel ages ago without a clue who he was or what he’d done.

And to think how important his work is to the Small Web (and to privacy in general in the digital and networked age)…

PS. He also happens to be a lovely, humble guy and a very engaging and funny presenter. You can do far worse than to watch his talk from the conference we met at:
