David,

What I do for Jeri's messages, and might work for you with Devon's, is
subscribe to both the individual messages and the digests. I quickly scan
the digests to see if I've missed any messages, so I read Jeri's late if
she hasn't bcc'd me, but I see them in full eventually.

HTH,

I am using Outlook and I receive Devon's posts in full, and really enjoy her
scholarly research comments.
I 'love' Arachne, I feel like I have friends 'all over the world'.   I was
great to meet some of them when I went to Prague and Adelaide for OIDFA
Congress.

It seems to me that the only person I have trouble receiving is Devon. I'm
using Outlook and usually only get the first 3 or 4 words of her emails. I
have to wait for someone to reply (and forget to trim) before I can read
them.

Any ideas?

Dear Friends,

The problems here, however, are almost certainly with using an AOL email
account

Sorry Jeri, but I'm with Shirley on this one. I too am grateful for your
wonderful posts and all your work in providing info to the lace and the
broader textile community. The problems here, however, are almost certainly
with using an AOL email account. AOL is a dinosaur-era system that doesn't
have guards against users sending mass junk mailings and scams. As a result
many more advanced email systems screen out mailings from AOL, Hotmail, and
increasingly Yahoo. A mailing to Arachne is interpreted by many servers as
a mass mailing,  which it actually is, and gmail (among the most advanced
email services) screens all AOL messages. I get very little spam, much less
than 1% of my messages, as a result.

I'm afraid the best solution by far would be for you to move to a newer,
better email system. I recommend gmail (having used Outlook extensively),
but almost anything would be better than AOL, Hotmail, or Yahoo. Were
Arachne to move to an even newer service, the problems are likely to be
worse.

BTW, delays in posting messages, especially long ones, are just as likely
to be caused by a delay on the internet itself in a packet that is part of
the message, since the message won't be delivered until all packets have
been received. That delay could be occurring at any one of millions of
servers, most of which are probably newer than the AOL ISP's servers.

I vote that Arachne stay with the current system.

Hi Fellow Arachnids,

Firstly, thank you Jeri for all you do for the Lace community and that despite
being frustrated by the system you keep on helping us. Your email has com
through to me ok. I looked at that wonderful shirt yesterday. Being a medieval
re-enactor as well as a lace maker I was doubly interested.

Secondly, my thanks to Liz for hosting the program AND PAYING for it all these
years. I have sent an donation towards the costs, but that was several years
ago. It would be nice if more people could see their way to doing that.

Lastly, my thanks to Avital for keeping us on the straight and narrow with our
emails. Yes, I am sorry to say that she has had to rap my knuckles a couple of
times. I have cut severely this time and I hope that despite minimal lace
content this missive is allowed.

PS. I am just on my way to Triangle Lace Club in Eastbourne for about 4 hours.
Lovely group meeting every even numbered month on the second Saturday (10.00
to 14.00 hrs).  J.

 .  Liz has been very generous in
providing a server to us.  Perhaps we should consider how we can update
dinosaur-era computer programming ?  Do we have a volunteer programmer and
someone with a server to share that we could transition to, and could our
existing files be kept intact ?

Hi,

Maybe I'm a tad tired after teaching bobbin lace all day but 
. Umm, why would we want to move our wonderful list 
somewhere else?  We can always check out the wonderful lace posted to 
flicker as the address is at the bottom of each and every e-mail sent to 
Arachne.  Liz and Avital have given countless hours keeping our list in 
check and making it such a friendly place to be.

Cheers,
Shirley T.  -  who needs to put her feet up after a very busy day.

Fascinating article and wonder just how much it will go for.

Received your posting okay.  Thank you Jeri.

Somehow, not all of The Times address got picked up for you.  Others have
since chimed in, and I am happy you have had the opportunity to see the gold
silk shirt that is 1,000 years old and estimated to sell at Sotheby's London
for $700,000.
