Please check that message you recently received from Leif and let me know if that "" appeared in your copy. SL Well, see, this is where us, nerds, people in the know, you know, the ones SL who know the standards and abide by them instead of break them know that most SL servers separate message by a line that starts with "From ". Any line in the SL body that starts with that sequence needs to be escaped and the code to escape it is the character. The POP server is supposed to remove any encoding SL when sending to you but, alas, a lot of the newest ones do not. Maybe the POP server(s) just aren't configured correctly? There might also be a reason (unrelated to servers) that this had never happened to me before, with Eudora, so I think the jury is still out on this one. But please feel free to ignore my messages, because if that horrible day ever comes that I have to rely on people like you for answers, I'll take this computer and throw it in the ocean. SL But, of course, don't take my word for it, chances are I'm just yanking SL your chain.

C Living dangerously Joe? :-/ Didn't you read the Moderators post earlier. C Now is *definitely* not the time. I thought my reply was well within bounds, Curtis, I rewrote it several times, in fact, to get it there. The above is *sarcasm,* sarcasm in direct response to Lamb's own sarcasm, and I thought sarcasm was allowed? If not, why allow Lamb's? Apparently he can't write a message without being sarcastic. There was no name-calling, no vitriol, no personal attack, I didn't ask him to "do" anything, etc. I just said I wouldn't take his word for anything. Could you please point out the specific violation of the "new" rules? I admit that I can't stand this guy, and I wish he would never again reply to one of my posts (no, I don't need nor want his help), and he does enjoy "yanking my chain" because he's always gotten away with yanking everyone's else's chain. And if you're/the moderators going to continue to let him yank my chain, just tell me, okay? I'll find another group from whence to get help with TB, or I'll just ditch TB altogether and go back to Eudora. But I'm not going to let him (or anyone else here, for that matter)yank my chain without me responding accordingly. I moderate several mail lists myself, I know it's a big PITA to be a moderator, but I would have permanently banned a person like Lamb a long time ago -- they just aren't worth having around. They lose you many more subscribers than they ever bring you. No, no one will miss my contributions to this mail list, because I have very little to contribute at this point. And maybe you think Lamb's contributions here are worth letting him get away with murder, that's certainly your/the moderators prerogative. It's your list. But *I'm* just *not* going to put up with it silently, and if I have to get bounced or leave voluntarily, so be it. Just let me know what you/the moderators decide. -- Joe Finocchiaro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
