[math-fun] ASCII Typesetting complaint
cwg: Warren, you have GMail. Neil just taught me to click on?, then "Message text garbled?"
--actually there is no "?" button for me to click. Nor is there a "Message text garbled?" button.
lunnon: Simply select View Source or Show Original options on the message window, and the uncorrupted message should be displayed as a textfile, with correct spacing and newlines.
--actually there is no "Show Original". There is "View Source"... HOORAY, THAT ACTUALLY WORKED! course you have to then see a heck of a lot of other garbage, but ok. Thank you.

The ? should have been a downward-pointing triangle, referring to the menu in the upper right part of the message pane.

There's a "bookmarklet" here for rendering math-mode latex in any page, even GMail: http://dzejkej.github.com/mathjax-bookmarklet/ Click on the big "MathJax" logo and drag the link into your bookmarks bar; you should see a new bookmark named "MathJax". Then whenever you see latex math surrounded by dollar-signs, like $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$, you can click the MathJax button and it will replace that with real math. I've tested it on Chrome and GMail, and it seems to work fine. You can always reload the page to undo the effect of the button.
