Thanks Bill. I'll give yahoo a try. I can't post attachments, but LINKS work
fine.

Well, here's what might be causing it:
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative by demime 0.92b
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain
Picked this up from the full headers. Your mail seems to have come in
through hotmail--look at the fourth and fifth "Received: " lines below. It
looks like the
messages had html or mime formatting; MIME is usually used to
communicate information about attachments, I think. Cyclone.mudpuppies.com,
a BSD server, removes all
the html and mime formatting with a program called deMIME. According to
deMIME's page at freshmeat.net (freshmeat is an open-source software
projects site):
http://freshmeat.net/projects/demime/?topic_id=29%2C861
deMIME reads a piece of e-mail from standard input. It is designed to be
invoked directly as an alias program in /etc/aliases, or by using
majordomo's wrapper program. It attempts to remove all MIME cruft from the
piece of mail, including alternative sections and attachments, and output
simple plain text, rendered as well as it possibly can.
Too put it more succinctly and less politely, M$ is adding extraneous
stuff to yer email (which many folks feel ought to be in plain text), and
our courageous open-source mail server is removing the extraneous stuff
and screwing up the formatting of the plain text which remains.
deMIME might also prevent one from sending attachments, such as pictures;
anybody know if we are unable to send attachments to the list?
You could try sending email from a different service, like yahoo.

Such an irrelevant post is mine ;-) I've been on the list for only a few
weeks, and have been confounded all that time by the formatting on Tom's
posts. It seems that every post is double-, triple-, or quad-spaced and
the text lines are only about half as long, or less, than the others.
I'm wondering if my mail reader is doing something wierd to his emails,
or if his mail client uses different formatting options than most. BTW,
the short lines go away on the "reply text", as seen below.
As I say, trivial question, but I do wonder. If it is done on your end,
Tom, how do you do it???
Cheers/Don Carron
Beats me ? When I post to this list, my email looks fine, but
when I receive the post after submission, it looks the way you describe.
I asked about this a while back, but no one responded. This only happens
on
this
list.
When it occurs, there also seems to be missing time. Must be aliens. Ha!
Tom
