| Titre | No, font errors mean nothing in that NYPost article |
| Texte | The NYPost has an article on Hunter Biden emails. Critics claim that these don't look like emails, and that there are errors with the fonts, thus showing they are forgeries. This is false. This is how Apple's "Mail" app prints emails to a PDF file. The font errors are due to viewing PDF files within a web browser -- you don't see them in a PDF app.In this blogpost, I prove this.I'm going to do this by creating forged email. The point isn't to prove the email wasn't forged, it could easily have been -- the NYPost didn't do due diligence to prove they weren't forged. The point is simply that that these inexplicable problems aren't evidence of forgery. All emails printed by the Mail app to a PDF, then displayed with Scribd, will look the same way.To start with, we are going to create a simple text file on the computer called "erratarob-conspire.eml". That's what email messages are at the core -- text files. I use Apple's "TextEdit" app on my MacBook to create the file. The structure of an email is simple. It has a block of "metadata" consisting of fields separated by a colon ":" character. This block ends with a blank line, after which we have the contents of the email.Clicking on the file launches Apple's "Mail" app. It opens the email and renders it on the screen like this: Notice how the "Mail" app has reformatted the metadata. In addition to displaying the email, it's making it simple to click on the names to add them to your address book. That's why there is a (VP) to the right on the screen -- it creates a placeholder icon for every account in your address book.One thing I can do with emails is to save them as a PDF document. This creates a PDF file on the disk that we can view like any other PDF file. Note that yet again, the app has reformatted the metadata, different from both how it displayed it on the screen and how it appears in the original email text. |
