Replying to Tony Moss, about your E-mail problem

[David Andersson]

Hi Tony, (and other List members)

Concerning your E-mail problem, it is likely that something has changed
with your computer configuration - or (more likely) the specific E-mail
software it uses, so this no longer complies with "RFC 5322" standards.

A very common situation (particularly for computers using the "Windows"
system), is that it is only sending messages in 'HTML' - instead of the
proper ASCII (or UTF8) format, containing just basic 'text' characters.

Specifically, YOUR computer seems to be using something called JavaMail
which could easily be 'confusing' the system used by this Mailing List,
but could be something introduced by your "TalkTalk" ISP - so you might
want to have a chat with their tecnhical people, to see what THEY say !


If you have access to ANOTHER computer, I suggest trying it - to see if
your messages could be received correctly, plus then investigating what
'differences' there might be with the computer/software configurations.

Another possibility, is that the "Mailman" system (used by this Sundial
Mailing List) has changed - but only the 'SysOp' can confirm it, though
I have not seen different SML behaviours with my own received messages.


Regards,

Dave Andersson.

e-mail problem

[John Carmichael]

Hello all:

This morning I tried to e-mail the List with the attachment of FAQs, but it
didn't go through.  As the attachment was 5 pages long, I have a feeling
that it was automatically rejected because of its length.  I really don't
want to send it out as a paste on to an e-mail because it would probably
reject it again, and the e-mail does strange things to the format.

Does anybody know of an easy way to send you all this attachment in bulk, or
do I have to send it to each of you individually (hope not, but I will if
necessary)

Thanks

John
