Here's a weird email but IMO the erorr is just the odd strikethrough. Bill T. explains: "From my Comcast email spam folder. It was smart enough to detect it was spam, but... spam from a trusted sender? And either the delivery truck is an emoji (possible), an embedded image (maybe?), or Comcast is not actually blocking external images." I'd like to see the actual email, could you forward it to us? My guess is that we're seeing a rare embedded image. Since embedding images was the whole point of MIME in the first place, I have found it odd that they're so so hard to construct with typical marketing mass mailers, and I almost never receive them.

...everything looks like a hammer.

"Where is this plane?" wondered erffrfez (hope I spelled that right), explaining "I was on a flight across Aus, and noticed that the back of seat display doesn't seem to know exactly where the plane is. There are two places where 'distance to destination' is displayed. They never matched and the difference varied through the flight." I have a suspicion this is related to the January 20 WTF.

Do we need better verb tenses to describe a counterfactual present from the future perspective? Any trained linguists in the audience, please helped out.

Reinier B. will wonder "Does this mean my cloud storage plan never expires? Or does it expire every day at noon? It's an obvious phishing mail though."
