Amazon SES: "illegal headers" with ses-send-email.pl (followup)

Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:39:45 +0000

A few people have emailed me asking me to integrate the perl code snippet into I wrote to strip illegal headers when sending email via Amazon SES into something actually usable. I’ve done so! I haven’t really tested this beyond sending some test emails, but here it is. Use this at your own risk, I make no warranty, blah blah blah. This fix requires editing ses-send-email.pl, so I’d advise making a backup copy, though I imagine you can always get a fresh version from Amazon if necessary.

Microsoft Office 2007's awful user interface

Office 2007 is pretty old by now, and I know much has been written on the move from a “normal” looking app to the “Ribbon” UI. I personally hate the change and feel Microsoft just changed the UI as a way to make the application look “different” so that people will look at it and go “oooh, shiny!” and not feel as bad about being forced into another $400 upgrade of a word processor. Sure, Excel’s row limit was finally raised beyond 64k, and I’m sure there were some other tweaks, but .docx? .xlsx? Yet more file formats, ensuring most businesses will feel compelled to upgrade. If your clients are upgrading, you’re going to have to.
