Subject: Re: error 5
Hello All,
Yes I have also recieved these double messages all of the time on any
number of lists. I think that it just boils down to the fact that majority
of the senders do not know their e--mail program and do not know how to
change the setting and or that they just don't care because they don't
understand how the net works and they believe that everyone uses just what
they use. Many of these users have most likely not been around very many
years and they do not know a thing about text or much else than what their
gui program will default to when setting it up.
When I recieve a double message it always comes first text and then the
html. So I can remove the message after reading the text part. Only spam
comes to me in true html only without a text part.
When I recieve one of these I can generally read the first few lines to
get an idea as to what the html is going for and then just remove the file
because it's just trash.
Once and a while I also recieve the error (5) message and I believe for
me its related to the larger spam messages. I cannot read these but when
going into the Nettamer list of files before reading I can tell what the
listing is and most frequently it's a spam wo I just (e) the file and have
it resort and the offending file is removed.
I don't think that it is related to sounds or the viedo setting.
