[MapHist] New MapHist Forum comment question
This is a MapHist list message. This list will close soon. Please continue the discussions at the MapHist Forum: http://www.maphist.nl/forum o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + Peter, The new MapHist Forum ( http://www.maphist.nl/forum ) is very well designed, and I believe it will be highly successful. The option to receive notifications of new posts via email is not only great, but absolutely essential. I would assume those who were in favor of the forum design over the listserv are not using the email notifications since one of their stated goals was to de-clutter their inboxes. However, the forum (as opposed to the listserv) is still a time sink for some of us. Is it possible for the email notifications to include the actual new post and a link to it, rather than just a link? It would save a lot of time for those of us who don't mind the emails and, from my perspective, would make the new forum irresistible, combining the best of the old and new.

Re: [MapHist] Publication announcement: Mer de l'Ouest by Don McGuirk
This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the whole list) o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + It's an e-book alright... as in an exclusory book. It's not really cool if all you have is a Mac that isn't tainted with Windows. Or you have a Mac and an old PC and don't intend to replace the latter when it crashes for the last time. I think the idea is fantastic. Someone just needs to invent a simple way to make it functional independent of OS.

This is a great introduction to ebooks – or what do you call this format? Best wishes and best of luck, Leigh (With apologies for any cross-posting.)

[MapHist] MapHist vs iPhone
This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the whole list) o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + iPhone using and/or tech savvy MapHisters - I didn't get a response from the Google help forums, so I thought I'd try the collective minds of MapHisters. When out of town, I check my google email acc't on my iPhone. MapHist messages are always missing everything below the o+o+o+o+... line. There is no indication that the message is abbreviated, or that any part of it is hidden. It just isn't there. When I get a chance to check the email on a computer, the entire message is there, as expected. MapHist messages are the only email messages for me which have this problem. Does anyone know why the body of the MapHist message below o+o+o+... is missing when I use my iPhone to check my gmail? More importantly, how does one fix it? Thanks, Jay L And now we return to our regularly scheduled cartographic program. ___ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.

Re: [MapHist] London Underground gets rid of the Thames
This is a MapHist list message (when you hit 'reply' you're replying to the whole list) o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + o + Someone please let me know how I, as a North Carolina resident, can vote for Mayor Boris Johnson! Of course the Thames should be on the Tube Map! I would be completely discombobulated without that vital point of reference (as opposed to my usual state of subtotal discombobulation). Even though the Tube Map is not spatially accurate, the Thames still provides an invaluable point of reference for those of us who don't live and work there, but who love to visit.
