| Printed | Page 50 Figure 2.27 legend |
I'm wondering if the legend of Figure 2.27 is accurate. It says : Yahoo! Mail mistakenly shows a valid indicator instead of an invalid indicator.... Should not it be Yahoo! Mail mistakenly shows an invalid indicator instead of an valid indicator.... Seems to be different from the text of the paragraph that follows the figure.... which states the other way round (1 - invalid and 2- Valid). Thanks for clearing this matter for me :-) Note from the Author or Editor: |
