Nancy,
Thanks for your concern. Your comments are not out of line at
all.
I have an mPower BT 18, running 7. They downloaded fine, and
opened fine, and the material was there. However, as you know,
they're rather long, and I don't always have time first thing in
the day to read them.
One day I read them immediately. The next day I downloaded them,
looked in the in box to see that they were there, but didn't open
them. Later in the day when I opened them, they were empty. A
third day I read one, but only a portion of the second one.
Later in the day when I wanted to finish reading that one, it was
empty. The message was in the in box, but it was empty.
I don't have my size limit very high on purpose, so that I can
monitor incoming messages and eliminate unwanted messages. But I
do accept large ones that I'm interested in receiving, including
Will Smith's newspapers. When I press i for information about
the larger mesages, it gives me the size so it would appear that
his messages are actually there.
I hope I've given you enough information about this situation.
Thanks again, Nancy, for offering to help.
Kathy

Subject: [Braillenote] Mr. Smith's Publications and the Braille
Note
Hi. I'm brainstorming here, but to whomever's having the problem
of Wil Smith's publication disappearing after being downloaded,
I'm wondering if in "receive options" how do you have your size
limit for automatic downloads of e-mail set? I'm not having this
problem, but I've had my share of other problems, grin. Since
Mr. Smith's newspaper files are quite large, I have my automatic
downloads set to 900k. It could be 800k, 700k, but I'd make sure
it's over the default of 50k. Are you actually receiving the
file and when you're entering on it, it's not there? When you go
to your inbox, find the Washington Post, for example, enter on
it (and it shouldn't take too long to load (though the
processor's a little slower with the classic) I can't imagine
why it's happening, hmm. I think I did get a New York Times file
once, for example, I entered on it, and there was nothing there.
Maybe my inbox was too full, I hadn't emptied the trash, erased
attachments, freed database space, who knows. If it did happen
to me on occasion, I think I just ignored the problem. Anyway,
let us know exactly what type of Braille Note you have (classic,
m-power, whether it's qt or braille display, when it's
disappearing, meaning after you've entered on it, when you've
read something, left it for awhile and come back to it, or
whatever. Mr. Smith's really nice about resending it also, if
necessary. I hope I'm not giving silly or what you deem as
(logical suggestions, because I'm only trying to be helpful, for
a change, grin. I hope other users let us know if they've had
similar issues and if so, how they've resolved those issues. Is
it disappearing when you try to save it, or what? Give us as many
deqils as you can, because I'm not nearly as brilliant as many of
the minds on this list, grin. P.S. It just dawned on me that if
the size limit of downloads was too small, it probably wouldn't
even download inthe first place, and you'd get an error message.
Sorry about that. I'll stop writing for awhile. Nancy
