To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ________________________________________________ Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:20:41 -0400 From: Ross Perlin <[email protected]> Subject: Yidishe Geshikhte fun Long Island, New York Tayere Mendelyaner, Nisht lang hob ikh gehat a gelegnheyt tsu bazukhn di hundert-yor-alt shul in Greenport, Long Island, a historisher handel-hafn afn "North Fork", tsvey sho fun shtot Nyu-York.
