Gack. It looks like I can't send formatted ASCII from Gmail. (Squirrelmail has just gotten even more useless.) It looks OK in my Gmail compose window, but when I copy and paste it elsewhere, it is ruined. Can you think of a workaround, or do I need to recompose it from scratch, and drastically curtail my SquirrelMail BCCs? --rwg
When I click on plain text on the resend, it destroys my whitespace, and won't let me use Courier font! How plain is that? Here's a partial repaste from Mma: In[7]:= HoldForm[Sum][(-1)^n* ArcTan[Csch[Pi*(n - 1/2)/Sqrt[3]]], {n, \[Infinity]}] == -5*Pi/24 Out[7]= 1 (-(-) + n) Pi n 2 5 Pi Sum[(-1) ArcTan[Csch[-------------]], {n, Infinity}] == -(----) Sqrt[3] 24 In[8]:= OutputForm[Product[Coth[Pi*(n - 1/2)]^8, {n, \[Infinity]}] == 2] Out[8]//OutputForm= 1 8 Product[Coth[(-(-) + n) Pi] , {n, Infinity}] == 2 2 --rwg
You either need to make sure the text is all one line or that it's formatted correctly--as written, it doesn't parse.
