https://code.google.com/p/mintty/ attempts to explain the acronym IME
by linking to http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/ime_paper.mspx
which responds, "We are sorry, but the page you requested cannot be
found." and then redirects to a bing(tm) search.

Thank you for providing a link for those of us not familiar with the
acronym, but it looks like https://code.google.com/p/mintty/ needs a
little maintenance to keep that effort useful.

Looks like that paper has disappeared. Shame. Linking to wikipedia
now.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks very much for digging that up, but I removed the messages with
the attachments because I don't know what the license is on that
document. (Apparently attachments can't be removed separately. They
were also in the wrong thread.)

Kind regards,
Andy
