+## 2022-09-22, TA group chat
+
+One of our TAs decided to get a Moss account. The
+[website](http://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/moss/) says:
+

+
+<details>
+<summary>Transcript</summary>
+<p>To obtain a Moss account, send a mail message to moss@moss.stanford.edu.
+The body of the message should appear exactly as follows:</p>
+<p>registeruser<br/>
+mail <i>username@domain</i></p>
+<p>where the last bit in italics is your email address.</p>
+</details>
+
+Well, here my colleague goes (reenactment):

+To: "moss@moss.stanford.edu"<br/>
+Subject: Moss Register<br/>
+registeruser mail<br/>
+<i>their.email@sjtu.edu.cn</i>
+</details>
+
+Minutes passed and no reply. Another TA told them they should compose in
+plaintext and that italics were unnecessary. Stanford lied; turns out the
+message _doesn't_ "appear exactly as follows" after all.
