Il me semble que le 5/09/03 à 13:46 -0500, Michael Burks nous racontait:

SimpleMail allows this by letting you send a picture of your
sketches. You do this by installing the required packages and
selecting GIF in the format popup. The vectorial information (i.e.
the lines you have drawn) will be lost, though.
You can also uncheck Text only with SimpleMail/EnRoute. This will let
anyone with a mail agent compatible with these on their Newton to get
your sketches. The data is attached as a file with a .nwt suffix that
happens to be NSOF (Newton Stream Object Format) data with a header
and can be parsed by the NSOF to XML converter. However, the Ink
format is unknown so we cannot really process the file on a desktop
computer yet and extract the ink information (we can extract text
with styles, outlines and a lot of Newton meta-data, though).
