Ever send a message to sust-mar and wonder why it wasn't posted? To be
sure, check the archives. But, if it isn't there, and if you didn't get a
copy of your own message back at you from sust-mar, and if crowds of
people didn't show up for your event ... maybe your message was never
posted.

Probably that's b/c you sent it in the wrong email format.

You may not even realise it, but many emailers send email in fancy rich
text format, with HTML code. If you have no idea what this means, check to
see if there is a pull-down menu bar above the screen on your emailer when
you are writing your email, with the "Format" menu. Look in that menu, and
make sure "plain text" is checked. 

If your message is not in plain text, I will not post it.

And, I won't tell you why. I used to do this. I'm not doing it anymore b/c
I want to have a life away from my computer screen.

So, if your message didn't make it on to sust-mar, please check the format
you sent it in. Resend it in PLAIN TEXT with no HTML coding, and I'll be
ecstatic to put it "on the air" for you.

Enjoy the summer!
