Mail.app cracks another joke

A while ago I blogged a screenshot of Mail.app’s Dock icon being cheeky when it has too many unread emails to count.

Today a friend sent me another picture of Mail getting funny, this time with attachments:

This was caused by a cut ‘n’ pasted iChat transcript packed full of emoticons.

[Thanks, Dan ]

   The reason for this lies in the fact that Mail uses 6bits in its TOC for the number of attachments in a message - the number of messages shown in the message list is pulled from the TOC so the maximum number possible to show there are 64 - anythin larger than that will show up as “lots” (if you really have that many attachments in a single message you probably should reconsider anyway…)

   Thanks, Andreas. I was wondering what number of attachments was needed to trigger that response.
