Yet another frequently asked QUESTION: This is pissing me off, Paul! I sent the message to the right place. I read the info file (posting guidelines). My message was perfect. I even checked the archives. It isn't there. Why won't you post it? $#!&? ANSWER: Number-one reason why perfect messages vanish into thin air: [drum-roll] Because they contain html coding, i.e. MIME. Solution: Make sure your message is in plain text ONLY. No pretty colours. No fancy fonts. Make sure html is completely turned off (even if it looks like just regular text). Make sure your system isn't attaching a html "business card." Finally, make sure that your message was not copied to other recipients. [Send it wherever and to whomever you want, just not in the same message that goes to sust-mar]. Thanks! ~paul :) PS Techology is changing. Maybe it is time to remove the restriction on html. This means that sust-mar will consume more bandwidth, and that not all messages will be legible to all subscribers. If you think sust-mar should start ALLOWING html messages ... or if you think it shouldn't ... please let me know. We aim to please! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- The preceding message was posted on the Sustainable Maritimes mailing list (sust-mar). http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/lists/sust-mar -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Volunteer moderator: Paul Falvo mailto:sust-mar-owner@chebucto.ns.ca To submit a message to sust-mar, please send it to: mailto:sust-mar@chebucto.ns.ca PLEASE SEND MESSAGES TO SUST-MAR IN PLAIN TEXT ONLY MESSAGES CONTAINING HTML (MIME) CANNOT BE POSTED
