RE: [U-Boot-Users] debugging relocated code
All,
Travis has the explanation: the problem happened when an HTML message was posted to the list, and I (naively! foolishly!) replied to it. Although my mailer *is* configured for plain text (including this message), by my replying to a message with HTML content, Outlook overrode my stated preference and chose to format the response as HTML. (HTML e-mail is contagiuous unless we take prophylactic measures!)
Nonetheless I am to be faulted for not having re-set the flag back to plain text. Just a caveat to all the other Outlook users out there. Wolfgang has done great services to the embedded, Linux and U-Boot communities, and if HTML e-mail raises his blood pressure to the point where he has a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm or other fatal calamity, the world would be an emptier place. :)

John:
The problem is that the 1st message was HTML... outlook keeps the format.
If replying to an html message, and you want plain text you have to set it per email.
General settings are overridden by the format of the original email.
(BTDT, but at least I'm M$ free here at work now ;)

Wolfgang, you live in an imperfect world. I understand you are apoplectic. But please understand the rest of us are merely human. I have configured my mailer to send plain-text message in every way I know how. If I knew any other flag to set in my mailer, I would set it. My employer gives me no choice re which mail tool I use.
If anyone out there has any advice re whether M$ Outlook has a hidden, second, really-send-plain-text flag (other than Format -> Plain text which I have already set), I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks.

Herm, could you use ppc-linux-objcopy with --adjust-vma, then point GDB = at that modified executable?
No, this will not do any good.

Grrrrghhh....
If this continues like that, I will really try to find out how to configure the mailing list to reject all HTML messages.
Please DON'T send HTML!

Thanks for the friendly words, but there is good reason not to use HTML. See for example http://www.expita.com/nomime.html (which happens to suggest some solutions...)
And now we got this sorted out, let's address the nbext topic:

Can you please configure your mailer to use proper quoting? :-) See http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html#s3
