In another life, I am an erudite, fascinating, witty, sexy libertine. As it stands, I am mainly a disappointment.

So yeah I work for Microsoft. The product I work on is a Linux-derived platform and all my personal devices are Apple. Just sayin’.

(I’m not able to comment on the record about anything specific my employer are doing. Microsoft is a big company and it doesn’t act monolithically.)

If you're involved in electronic music-making and you're not white, please DM me on here.

I've just been watching loads of footage and was aghast at how overwhelmingly white the whole thing is. I've seen more diversity at EDL marches.

So, I'm gonna try and do something about it. And the first thing is organising.

@RobW @Jyoti Mary-Anne Hobbes show on 6Music does a lot to centre female, trans and non-binary artists, and especially those of colour. People like Sherelle, Nia Archives and Loraine James worth checking out if you like the junglist end of things. Also Jamz Supernova on the same station - lots of broken beat, house and r’n’b from a very diverse array of producers.

How is it supposed to work, when you get one of those emails whose body reads 'Sender Name would like to recall the message, "Subject Line"'?

I assume some mail system like Exchange is supposed to find the matching previous message and delete both. And my normal Unix mail system doesn't.

But how does it decide on the matching message? I can't find any header that unambiguously identifies it. No 'Recalled-message-id:' or similar. How does a system supporting this feature make it work?

@simontatham I assume that, for systems that support it, there's an proprietary non-SMTP way of doing it that identifies the exact message but, when interacting with SMTP-based mailservers, they just did the absolute minimum and fall back to sending a simple message because shrug what else can you do?

@simontatham Oh totally.

Anyway, uh, I work for the company that makes Exchange so I had a dig around. I found a dev spec for message recall in OWA and while the transport is proprietary, there's definitely an identifier in the recall message payload you could put in the SMTP headers too.

(I suspect the reason why they didn't is somewhere between "did the bare minimum for interop" and "if you want this to work properly, pay for Exchange")

We all know it's true.

@Jyoti I run my synths through a pedalboard. I am the worst of all worlds.
