I like your idea about the date. It would also be a good idea to put
the best tip for the week in a the subject. Like, "Tip of the Week -
How to make screeen print key".

> This is a little informal update on why things are looking a bit strange
> wrt getting the "J3D FAQ Weely Posting" coming through to the list. At
> the moment it looks far from regularly weekly posts!
>
> The reasons for this has to do with the FAQ fighting Sun's listserv
> software. Unfortunately listserv is too smart for its own good. What it
> does is archive all of the messages for about the past month (I've
> determined it is at least 3 weeks, so I assume they've just gone for
> round figures) and then does a comparison of the message to see if you
> have sent that same message anytime within the given window. If you
> have, it tosses it back at you.
>
> The upshot of this rather peculiar behaviour is that if we don't make
> any changes to the FAQ for that week the listserv rejects our posting.
> Considering we just use a cron job to dump a text file at the listserv
> this has become a problem. I'm going to try doing some hacking to make
> it appear like the message has changed (say have a date line that gets
> changed on the weekly basis so that the mail appears different).
>
> Unfortunately working out these things is a slow process because I can
> only make one change per week. I could do it much sooner but I don't
> think you would all liked to be spammed with the FAQ weekly posting 30
> or 40 times in one day...
> An alternative is that Sun turns off this bloody annoying "feature" but
> I think that has about the same chance as hell freezing over :(
>
> Please bear with us as we work out some sort of hack around this
> problem.
