I didn’t, so I suggested this:

Viewing email in Linux using postfix’s mailq and postcat | Jeff Geerling
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/22
Since mail mostly “works” I use these below commands only very little and tend to forget them.
Luckily they were documented at [Wayback/Archive] Viewing email in Linux using postfix’s mailq and postcat | Jeff Geerling
Here are the most common commands I use when either developing or troubleshooting email in production:
mailq– print a list of all queued mailpostcat -vq [message-id]– print a particular message, by ID (you can see the ID along inmailq‘s output)postqueue -f– process the queued mail immediatelypostsuper -d ALL– delete ALL queued mail (use with caution—but handy if you have a mail send going awry!)
Via [Wayback/Archive] postfix process queue – Google Search two interesting answers (thanks [Wayback/A] Nicolas for asking):

XPath based bookmarklets for Archive.is: more JavaScript fiddling!
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/20
As I promised a few months back in Bookmarklets for Archive.is and the WayBack Machine to go to the original page, moar JavaScript fiddling, this time with XPath based bookmarklets to navigate from Archive.is pages to Saved From, Redirected from, Via and Original pages.
An alternative would be using XPath as the additional fields are always structured in a table like the html below (taking complex pages like https://archive.ph/5iVVH and https://archive.ph/2015.11.14-044109/http://www.example.org/ as an example).
I got triggered to using XPath from this answer from [Wayback/Archive] gdyrrahitis at [Wayback/Archive] Javascript .querySelector find by innerTEXT – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] passwd for asking):

I recently learned about the MacOS universal Shift-Option-Command-V keyboard shortcut: paste without formatting
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/19
Boy, two extra modifier keys: [Wayback/Archive] How to Strip Formatting When You Copy and Paste Text: 5 Ways
To paste as plain text on a Mac, you can use the somewhat cumbersome shortcut
Option+Cmd+Shift+Vto paste without formatting. This is a system-wide shortcut, so unlike Windows, it should work everywhere. Technically, the shortcuts pastes and matches the formatting, but this has the same effect of removing the original formatting.
Via [Wayback/Archive] macos word microsoft office paste without formatting – Google Search.
Paste without formatting is an issue on Windows as well. The default should be “paste without formatting” instead of the current “paste with source formatting”. See for instance these tweets:

Revision of some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs: WordPress ditched the undocumented HighlanderComments structure
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/15
As promised yesterday, I updated the scripts for Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs
Code (which broke at 20230914 because of WordPress.com changes: the undocumented
HighlanderCommentsstructure got removed; I will update the gist later on and post an updated blog post)
Instead of the undocumented HighlanderComments structure, I now use two (also undocumented) link rel elements.
In addition, I found this element that will be interesting in the future: <link rel='shortlink' href='https://wp.me/pvelJ-m8g' />.
You can view the change with the below archivals of the Wayback Machine and Archive.is.
And of course I learned a few things from these MDN entries:
- [Wayback/Archive]
<link>: The External Resource Link element – HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN - [Wayback/Archive] HTML attribute:
rel– HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN
The 20230530 archivals (Wayback/Archive) of wiert.me/2022/02/14/philosophy-of-management have this HighlanderComments structure:

Using Fields in Microsoft Word – a Tutorial in the Intermediate Users’ Guide to Microsoft Word
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/09/15
This page has a truckload of information, but has a short index and few anchor targets: [Wayback/Archive] Using Fields in Microsoft Word – a Tutorial in the Intermediate Users’ Guide to Microsoft Word.
I found it doing these searches:
- [Wayback/Archive] microsoft word “savedate” error unknown switch argument – Google Search
- [Wayback/Archive] word macos savedate format – Google Search
I needed them because I misread it at first and replaced { SAVEDATE \* MERGEFORMAT } with { SAVEDATE \* "dd-mm-yyyy" } which resulted in the field to become displayed as needed Error! Unknown switch argument.. and at first thought this might be a Windows versus MacOS thing.
Fixing the error with { SAVEDATE \@ "dd-mm-yyyy" }) almost solved the problem, as the actual format should be { SAVEDATE \@ "dd-MM-yyyy" } (which displays month number instead of minute number).
So I learned that Word date formatting is almost the same as Excel date formatting.
I was specifically looking for these bits (the first luckily has the #Charformat anchor and was immediately followed by the latter):
