THANK YOU

A huge thank you to list members and the rest of the Mac community. We 
have received donations in excess of $6,000 that have covered our entire 
debt load. Low End Mac is now debt free and has enough money in the bank 
to get us through a couple more weeks.

Special thanks to Small Dog Electronics, which has faithfully supported 
Low End Mac by sponsoring several of our email lists. In the worst of 
times, Small Dog was a lifeline for us. In the good times, their support 
remains essential to balancing our budget from month to month.

Thanks to list sponsors, site sponsors, and affiliate programs, it looks 
like we'll be taking in enough to make ends meet from here on out. Nobody 
is going to get rich, but I'll be getting paid weekly and the paid 
writers on our staff will be getting paid regularly as well.


LOW END MAC SERVICES

List subscribers may sign up for a lemlists.com email address for US$6.00 
per year. See our Terms of Service at http://lemlists.com/tos.html

We also offer email addresses at lowendmac.net for US$12.00 per year, and 
this can be combined with online space for storing images, putting up Web 
pages, etc. Details at http://lowendmac.net/accounts/index.html

Both of these services will help us cover hosting fees for our sites. 
These services are offered by Low End Mac and managed by Ryan Coleman, 
our systems administrator.

At present we are set up to use PayPal exclusively. Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
can provide a snail mail address for those who would prever to send a 
check or money order.


LIST NOTES  FAQ UPDATES

It appears that the Maclaunch server is rejecting any and all styled 
messages and emails with attachments, even those destined for command 
addresses. The following two sections have been added to the list FAQs 
today:

If you reply to the [warning messages], they should go away -- but they 
may not. We have no idea why these messages are being generated; we have 
made maclaunch.com aware of the problem. That is all we can do. Note that 
the list server has been set to reject styled messages and email with 
attachments, so when responding to warning messages, be sure your 
response is a plain text email.

and

And for some reason unknown to us, the Maclaunch mail server will not 
accept styled email or messages with attachments send to any of the 
command addresses. You must send plain text email to subscribe, confirm, 
change mode, etc. Anything else will be rejected by the server.

I hope this helps solve the problems some of you have been having 
changing your subscriptions, responding to warning messages, etc.

Notes from the List Mom

2002-09-19 Thread Dan Knight

Where's the List Mom been for the last week?

Here, but due to our host moving to a new mail server, I've been unable 
to access my [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address with Claris Emailer. 
Since I have several scripts and macros for Emailer that I use with the 
lists and we've been unable to find a solution to the problem of 
accessing this mailbox from Emailer, I've switched addresses.

Any future correspondence regarding subscriptions, posting problems, 
etc., should be sent to

==  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  ==

instead of the old address. At least I can check this mailbox with 
Emailer.

I've spent the last hour or so forwarding lists digests and listmom email 
to the lemlists account and hope to get through it all in the next few 
days. (I have to work at the camera store today, so I won't be able to 
get much done this morning.)

I have not had the time to update the list footers; hope to find the time 
this weekend. I will update the published FAQ for all the lists with the 
morning site update.

Email sent to the old listmom address should automatically forward to the 
new one.
