I use Netscape 7.1 mail (none of the Outlook virus attachment problems unless I specifically execute the attachment)... it also has the ability to specify send format. Go to the Address Book... there's a pop-up button under "Prefers to receive messages formatted as:". The default is unknown... just select "Plain Text" and you're good to go.

Hello Chad and All, The digest version was setup to send out a post when the total messages reached 32 Kb in size, or once per day. Generally if someone sends a picture in their post or HTML code in their message, it will generally trigger the 32 Kb limit and send out the post. I have raised the trigger limit today to 128 Kb which should reduce the number of single message posts for those subscribed using the digest version.
Related but unrelated item: WARNING for those not sending their posts in ASCII plain text format. The GGA Listserve rules of good conduct states: "Posts must be sent in "Plain Text" ASCII format only. Rich Text or HTML formats are not allowed as they cause archive problems, and use excessive bandwidth".
As of March 15th I will begin strictly enforcing the Plain Text - ASCII only format. If posts are sent using Rich Text, HTML, or other non-ASCII formats senders will get one warning and then be removed from the list upon the second non-ASCII post. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is necessary for the continued operation of the GGA Listserve. Outlook, and Outlook Express have an option associated with a specific email address named "Send email using plain text only". I highly recommend checking the properties for [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your email address book and make sure the "Plain Text" option is selected.
Thank You for your time and cooperation,
Greg Christenson GGA Webmaster, Listserve Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gekkota.com

Subject: [gecko]Subscription settings, digest
Hi all. Just was curious whether anyone else is having problems with the "digest" version of this list. I believe Im set to receive a digest version of this list, yet repeatedly will receive individual messages, and yet, multiple digests per day. Anyone else having trouble, or are my settings somehow incorrect? Its not a huge deal, but occasionally Ill get something like I got today: 1 digest version, and multiple single emails, all in one fell swoop (they arrived within minutes of each other for a total of 5 new emails). Chad
