I think the text as shown on the liki either loops or has the end of the last sentence at the beginning. How's this for a reading:

quite agreed as mentioned in irc. There's no fragment that has a clear beginning, and no fragment with a clear end. No matter how they're pieced together, it'll remain open ended. So the cutoff must be within the text at some point, most likely at the "Landa --" break which makes the most sense.

the "Check My Status" screen reports that they have recieved only 13 of the 20 parts.

Well, if they would send me an email to either of the two I signed up with maybe I could contribute this assignment.

Well I thought you just put a minus sign and submit.. so I did and it said its completed. Nor have I recieved email on my comcast.net yet.

I think we need to have everyone to just verify that theirs isn't one of the (currently five) missing pieces.
Go to:
http://www.landa-systems.com/site/status.php to see how many are missing
and then check the message at:
http://www.landa-systems.com/site/missions.php
If it says, "You have no missions at this time.", they're not waiting for your submission. You either weren't sent an image or you replied with the correct string in a previous submission attempt.
If you get the submit box/button, it means you haven't replied to the peice of the puzzle they sent you or they didn't get the correct message from you and you need to resubmit it. Paste in the message you "extracted" from the image file you received, in its entireity.
For most of us, it was pretty clear where the plaintext started and ended.
EDIT: enerbrat. If you wait an hour or so, the submit box will reappear and you can enter your part of the UN message.

Looking at it in a hex editor, there's a "0A" immediately following the string.
So, since you've already sent it without the comma and with the comma and since most of the other messages had a space on their beginning and/or end which wasn't even included in the "extractable" text, my only guess would be that the line feed following the comma must be part of the message.

First time ARGer here after discovering that thehidingroom.com was not just one of those "try to escape from the room" things. Had no idea that ARGs existed, to be exact, but once I found out I became very intrigued and it felt like participating in an ARG would be a good way to put some more excitement and challenge into my world.

Anyways, I got on Landa Systems as a level 1 operative and when I go to the "current assignments" it does say that I am currently working on extraction. However, I have not received any emails. I first put down that I had a yahoo.com account, and then after reading these boards got an account at boardermail.com and inbox.com and of course "updated" my information on landa. None of these email accounts have received an email! I am wondering if perhaps I just need to get a new "operative name" and sign up all over again with one of these emails?

I'm not quite sure what to do here...I feel like I've done most everything I could...but still have not gotten anything.

Anyone else?

London, have you submitted anything after changing your email? I have no idea how the scripting works on the backside of this thing, but I've submitted something like "changed my email again" every time I try a new address, in case the PM doesn't get notified when your contact information is updated.

Of course, maybe I'm just annoying the hell out of the PM by doing that. It doesn't seem to have actually worked yet.
