Not even a tiny dotfile?

Please note, I’ve migrated all my posts, including this one, to a new location.

I was pretty enthusiastic about EverNote after my first glance. I liked the idea of a service that would take anything you threw at it and worry about understanding it later, we’ve got forever right?

I was a bit disappointed that apart from images, it discarded any attachments I emailed to it. To be fair, I only tried a couple of MS Office documents and my screenrc (gotta keep those dotfiles). Thing is, I had rather hoped, within reasonable limits, that these would be saved as notes.

I know there’s a thick client (win+mac) presumably packed with features. I also recognise that they can’t allow themselves to be a dumping ground for anything and everything. What I did want was the ability to drag and drop small documents into an email or a client app and save them forever, no matter where I was.
