one of the past messages had a topic that interested me, and it said something to the effect of "I've attached a file" and i was wondering if there was somewhere I could find that attached file, to look at, or if I'd need to ask the person who attached the file.
also. one of the emails contained code and I was wondering what i would do to open the code into pd.
Some people seem to use email software, which is not able to correctly attach .pd-files. As Pd files technically are just text, those programs put them into the main mail body instead of properly making an attachement out of it. This is really annoying. (Btw: I'm rather sure that this is in fact a user error, as every decent mail program nowadays - even Outlook - should be able to properly attach textfiles, too.)
To cut out the relevant Pd file from such a malformed mail, you need to copy the code into a new textfile and rename this textfile to something.pd
On Windows, notepad can be used for this, but make sure, you select the right file ending later, as Windows likes to hide file endings, unless you forbid that. Linux users fight about Vi or Emacs being the best editor. I don't know what's good on Mac.
