No, that's your responsibility. I use Thunderbird and I can set it so that every
message I send to the user group goes as plain text. I can also set it so that
for another address messages go as HTML. Any web-based mail program/service
(Gmail) wants you to use HTML almost exclusively and makes it awkward to do
otherwise. I have a gmail address but I don't use Gmail via any browser.

 Has anyone at Legacy considered simplemachines.org (a free forum
 software) for use with this forum. The Guild of One-Name Studies
 recently added this type of forum to its member services/resources. It
 is a clean system with a topic-based layout. Members of the forum are
 able to post by topic, attach videos, photos, screen captures, and
 files. These are on-line so they do not download unless you choose to
 download them. It may be something to consider as forums evolve over
 time. Additionally you would not need to have posts in your email -
 just sign in to the forum and look for the topics that interest you.

That is a web-based thing. This is email-based. Different animals. When you go
web-based, you almost force the less-knowledgeable users to use a web browser.
For those users where their ISP deals are capped by cost or volume, this is not
very useful. Yes, some of these open forum engines have an email facility,
buts that's only for receiving notifications of messages being posted to topics
that the user has previously expressed an interest in. Posting and replying
still requires logging on to the forum site, with all the attendant overheads of
data traffic.

Quite simply, because there are those who refuse to follow
rules/requests.  I will repeat what others have said previously, if a
user refuses to adhere to the rules/requests, they should be given one
warning.  If the user repeats the violation they should be removed from
the list for a predetermined amount of time - I.E. - 1st violation 1
month suspension, 2nd violation 3 month suspension, 3rd violation
permanent removal from the list.  Unfortunately, the Millennia folks
would never implement such a system because they wouldn't want to upset
any of their customers.  There are several subscribers to this list who
have repeatedly made it clear they do not care what the rules of the
list are.  They insis that they will send their emails to the list in
any format that they want to.  Apparently the Millennia feel that it is
acceptable for the violators to cause potential undue hardship to those
who are on dialup and/or risk sending a hidden virus/malware to other
subscribers of the list.

Michelle,

Legacy support has always maintained that there software
cannot block
attachments.  They always relied on users to refrain
from sending
attachments and/or HTML messages.  Finally thy gave up
on saying no
HTML because some users simply refused to follow the
guidelines.  At
least, they haven't caved on attachments even though some
users ignore
that also.  It would be really nice if they would look
into software
that can block/reject messages sent to the list in HTML
and/or
attachments, but it doesn't look like that will ever
happen.

Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end -

There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the United
States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them, attachments can be
a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting almost a half hour for
a message with an attachment to download - and of course, on my service, I had
no other way to get to other messages until that downloaded. For many its not
just a matter of what we would like to see.

For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still get
charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a pocketbooks
issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a matter of trying
to include folks.

I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.

RE: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

2012-09-18 Thread Bernhard Scholz
Lloyd,

the question of plain text or not is not a Legacy problem but of the software
one is using to write/answer the email.

If this job could/would be done on Legacy's email servers it could mean that an
email sent in the wrong format eg., HTML would be rejected and the the sender of
that email would get an email that it was rejected due to the wrong format.
The time it takes to get this answer could take over one day.
Thus the sent information could be outdated.

The best is to change the settings in the email tool one is using.
As there are too many options I can't give one.
I use Outlook 2k3 and have it set to send in plain text.
Answering I change the format to plain text.

Bernhard

Ron,

the question in the first email was about the possibility to attach an image or
to use plain text or not.

Thanks for checking RootsWeb.
The scrubbing isn't the best sollution as information could be lost.
Would you like to rewrite your emails several times until it fit to the filters.

I don't.

In my opinion it's not Legacy's job to check if something is insulting.
That's the problem of the writer and the reader.

Why is it Unfortunately Millennia doesn't want to offend customers by having
email rejected.
If they did it we would be a situation like we have in many countries.
As an example I'm thinking of eg. the old GDR.
Everybody not thinking like them was rejected.

It doesn't happen with RootsWeb.  Attachments are blocked and the email is
rejected.  If a message is not plain text, the RootsWeb server attempts to strip
out the HTML code and then posts the plain text.  If the message can't be
scrubbed it is rejected.  A very simple solution.

You have to remember, RootsWeb lists are a convenience for people to
communicate.  RootsWeb isn't concerned about insulting anyone for rejecting the
person's email.  On the other hand, the Legacy list serves two purposes - first,
it allows users to exchange ideas.
Second, it is also used for users (customers) to communicate with support via
the list.  Unfortunately Millennia doesn't want to offend customers by having
email rejected, so the have made a conscious decision to use email software that
cannot be configured to block attachments and HTML messages.

Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end -

There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the
United States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them, attachments
can be a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting almost a half
hour for a message with an attachment to download - and of course, on my
service, I had no other way to get to other messages until that downloaded. For
many its not just a matter of what we would like to see.

For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still
get charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a
pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a matter
of trying to include folks.

I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.

that's the other side of living in a country where everthing is possible.

We have a law saying the those not securing their WLAN are liable for the
misuse.

And about those driving around. For the moment they were stoped here.
They have to do some homework removing information people don't want published.
I bet. The moment they finish the data is outdated.

 Michelle,

 Legacy support has always maintained that there software
 cannot block
 attachments.  They always relied on users to refrain
 from sending
 attachments and/or HTML messages.  Finally thy gave up
 on saying no
 HTML because some users simply refused to follow the
 guidelines.  At
 least, they haven't caved on attachments even though some
 users ignore
 that also.  It would be really nice if they would look
 into software
 that can block/reject messages sent to the list in HTML
 and/or
 attachments, but it doesn't look like that will ever
 happen.

the last time we moved from a no internet neighborhood, and had to bypass nice 
houses without connections. Luckily we looked until we found a place. It is not 
as universal as some would think. This is in USA. Same problem elsewhere.

Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end -

There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the United 
States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them, attachments can be 
a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting almost a half hour 
for a message with an attachment to download - and of course, on my service, I 
had no other way to get to other messages until that downloaded. For many its 
not just a matter of what we would like to see.

For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still get 
charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a 
pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a 
matter of trying to include folks.

I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.

recently added this type of forum to its member services/resources. It
is a clean system with a topic-based layout. Members of the forum are

Quite simply, because there are those who refuse to follow

user refuses to adhere to the rules/requests, they should be given one
warning.  If the user repeats the violation they should be removed from
the list for a predetermined amount of time - I.E. - 1st violation 1
month suspension, 2nd violation 3 month suspension, 3rd violation
permanent removal from the list.  Unfortunately, the Millennia folks
would never implement such a system because they wouldn't want to upset
any of their customers.  There are several subscribers to this list who
have repeatedly made it clear they do not care what the rules of the
list are.  They insis that they will send their emails to the list in
any format that they want to.  Apparently the Millennia feel that it is
acceptable for the violators to cause potential undue hardship to those

on saying no
HTML because some users simply refused to follow the

Ron, it's really not that many people who post attachments and it's
probably only because they didn't read the guidelines before posting.
And they generally respond in a positive manner when it's brought to
their attention.

We just don't have time to keep track of offenders like you suggest.

What bugs me most are those who don't trim previous posts nor the tags
that the list software adds to the messages. That's a heck of a
lot of junk to scroll through to get to the next message when they're
threaded messages in Gmail!

The problem with saying that the 'rules are the rules' is that one accepts the 
status quo forever. Change, positive change, can only come when people lobby 
for it.

There are situations, such as including screenshots in messages, where a 
picture is worth a thousand words.

This kind of controversy (often flames, not polite reminders) does turn off 
customers. And, dissatisfied customers usually just leave quietly and don't 
post about it, but they do pass on negative comments to their friends and 
acquaintances.

Although this list is still very valuable in its current form with its current 
rules, the internet is increasingly a graphics rich medium, and this list (or 
some other technical incarnation of it) would be better if some way to include 
graphics could be found. (By the way, telling is to go the Ancestry Legacy 
board isn't a solution, by default you are admitting they have a better 
technology).

Re: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

2012-09-17 Thread Tessa Keough
Sherry (and others)

Saw your response and I took a quick look at Legacy's Google+ Page and
Facebook Page. Both seem to be used to advertise the Legacy product
and webinars (nothing wrong with that). Just saying it does not appear
to be set up for or include the give and take that a forum has. Not
sure why as several other Google+ pages have lots of interaction. If
it is because anyone going to the site only sees posts about webinars,
they might consider that this method of communication is a one-way
street.

I get that a company only has so much time to invest in social media
and user forums. I was simply suggesting a method that allowed for
attachments and topic headers without clogging up someone's email
account and/or what some might consider an updated version of a forum.
I also took a look at the site you referenced - Genealogywise. It
appears to be a website with lots of ads and requires membership. That
is not really the same thing as a users' forum. But I did get the gist
of your response - previous discussions have been had, change is not
in the offing. Got it.

Appreciate the webinars and the product. Thanks

If attachments are a no-no and you are supposed to send messages in plain
text isn't there some sort of setting on the Legacy end that would prevent
attachments and convert HTML/RTF messages to plain text?  Didn't it  used to
be that way at one time?

Michelle,

Legacy support has always maintained that there software cannot block
attachments.  They always relied on users to refrain from sending
attachments and/or HTML messages.  Finally thy gave up on saying no
HTML because some users simply refused to follow the guidelines.  At
least, they haven't caved on attachments even though some users ignore
that also.  It would be really nice if they would look into software
that can block/reject messages sent to the list in HTML and/or
attachments, but it doesn't look like that will ever happen.

Let me make it very easy because I used to be on the other end -

There are still some 19 million Internet users (recent survey) in the
United States that cannot get high speed internet access. For them,
attachments can be a real pain. I remember one night on another list
waiting almost a half hour for a message with an attachment to download
- and of course, on my service, I had no other way to get to other
messages until that downloaded. For many its not just a matter of what
we would like to see.

For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still
get charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a
pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is
a matter of trying to include folks.

I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.

Re[2]: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

2012-09-16 Thread Ron Bernier
Jackie,

Unfortunately this is a discussion that arises on a fairly regular
basis.  Two main issues with HTML and attachements is the fact that
this is an international list and there are still many subscribers who
access the internet via dialup (for some there is no choice, for others
it is a financial situation).  Second, it is a well known fact that
HTML and attachments have the potential for harboring a virus hidden
within the message.  Although the majority of us do have excellent
anti-virus software installed on our computers, we should not be
forced to have to put our anti-virus software to the test.
Unfortunately, every time this discussion arises, there are certain
individuals who basically respond that they will post in whatever
format that they choose to post in and they display a total lack of
concern/regard for everyone else on the list.

Re: [LegacyUG] attachements, plain text

2012-09-16 Thread Ron Bernier
Lloyd,
It doesn't happen with RootsWeb.  Attachments are blocked and the
email is rejected.  If a message is not plain text, the RootsWeb
server attempts to strip out the HTML code and then posts the plain
text.  If the message can't be scrubbed it is rejected.  A very simple
solution.

You have to remember, RootsWeb lists are a convenience for people to
communicate.  RootsWeb isn't concerned about insulting anyone for
rejecting the person's email.  On the other hand, the Legacy list
serves two purposes - first, it allows users to exchange ideas.
Second, it is also used for users (customers) to communicate with
support via the list.  Unfortunately Millennia doesn't want to offend
customers by having email rejected, so the have made a conscious
decision to use email software that cannot be configured to block
attachments and HTML messages.
