Old technology

I was supposed to be going to a concert at the Barbican tonight but I received an e-mail this morning telling me the conductor has been hospitalised with pneumonia and they couldn't find a replacement at such short notice so the concert has been cancelled.

Leastwise, that's what the e-mail said when I read it in Thunderbird.  But I also download all my e-mails for long term storage using an antiquated text-only program, Ameol, supplied by Cix, my e-mail provider.  The message was in two parts, one in html and the other in plain text.  Ameol displays the text part, which is a notification that a concert has been cancelled that was due to take place on January 5th 2015.
