Niggle <number too-high>:

Email body containing nothing but greeting and signature, with an attached .docx or .pdf.
The attachment has to be downloaded to be opened.

The attached file contains nothing but three paragraphs of text. WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN TYPED OR COPIED INTO THE BODY OF THE EMAIL.

And now I need a calming cup of tea before replying, or risk being rather brusque.

If there's some dodgy parasite tucked into that file, even Tea won't save the sender.

On a new MacBook it is useful to open TextEdit and make it tolerable. This lets me take down any notes until I have my real notes hooked up:

- Use Plain text not Rich text.
- Turn off "Correct spelling automatically".
- Turn off "Smart quotes" and "Smart dashes".
- Turn off "Text replacement".

Don't mess with my code snippets! It's also important to find Edit, "Spelling and Grammar", and turn off "Correct Spelling Automatically".
