If you are answering a question in QA I think you can post anything as long a it is helpful. This question should probably be asked in bugs and suggestions.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I am sometimes irked by the poverty of content of some error messages (including mine), but I consider that those related to e-mails deserve a special mention.
Here is a cool example of the info you get in return when sending a mail with several attachments of different kinds. The messages are provided in two separate files.
The best of the story is that you are not just bombarded with all that useless crap, you also don't get any clue about the things that really matter to you: 1) what file or file extension was blocked ? 2) was the message delivered at all ?
Do you share my outrage ?

Not really.
The error is pretty obvious. One, or more, of your attachments is not allowed. This is probably an .exe or some script file, i.e. anything exectuable.
When you get an error like this, your message is just about never delivered.

What about an error message like The attached file 'Attach.exe' was rejected for security reasons. The message was not delivered. ? Would that be too much human-like ?

Too bad machines aren't like humans now, huh?

In reply to my previous post about my weekend liberty pass.
1. The breakfast was not bad. Not as good as usual but maybe 6/10. As much as I like crispy bacon they gave me something not far removed from tough boot leather. Let it be soft, let it be crispy but please don't give me old boots. The mushrooms had obviously stewed in their own juices. Not unpleasant, but not right. I'll put it down to an off-day by the Côte restaurant kitchen staff.
2. I never saw the local team play rugby. It was too cold, too wet so I opted for a cake and coffee at Costa.
3. The Springboks made hard work for themselves beating Ireland. I like the result but not much at all to get excited about. Argentina's win over Wales was extraordinarily amazing. Well deserved.
4. The sabre competition went much better than expected. I won three out of five bouts in my pool and qualified for the DE knockout rounds as I finished 2nd out of six second-placed qualifiers, of which the first three advanced. In the DE round of 32 I beat a fencer I've lost to twice before 15-12. In the next round of 16 I was up against the 2nd seed and lost by a creditable (to me at least) score of 15-8 of which five of my hits were impressive stop-cuts. I also nailed him with one almighty strike on the head.
We all stopped fencing at 11am for the two-minute remembrance observance for those who died in war. Some of the fencers raised their swords in salute as if standing to attention. It was quite poignant.
5. I never made the appointment with an ice-cold beer as I lost too much time watching the other bouts and the final. I picked up Mrs. Wifey and got home just in time to catch the end of the All Blacks expected victory over Scotland. Overall, a good weekend.

Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!
