Please trim other members' comments from the bottom of your posts - digest
readers (and the rest of us) don't need to wade through them again.

Quotes from earlier posts should only be left in yours if you're responding
directly to something.

Second point:
If you post regularly in HTML-formatted email (the stuff that makes it look
pretty), our list server will hold it until I manually release it. Why?
First, the format can more easily transmit viruses. Also, the format has
lots of extra characters that make reading for everyone else (especially
digest readers) difficult.

Unfortunately, AOL users are trapped posting in HTML - at least through
version 8, it's the only way they'll let you do it. (Not sure about version
9, which I think was just released.)

If you use an AOL address, there are 3 ways out that I know of:

1. Post from AOL's web gateway, www.aol.com. Others have proven this works,
but it does require you to go to a second website.

2. Dump AOL. This would be my recommendation <grin>, but I understand you
might not want to switch AOL addresses.

3. Find a free portal service (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) for your list address.
Make sure they let you send plain text! Again, I know this requires going
another place for list mail, but some like the filtering aspect (all list
traffic to a discrete address).

This is your call - AOL users can do nothing and will remain list members.
But I thought old and new members would like to know why there's a delay in
their posts showing up, and have some solutions around that.
