Several list members have written over the past 2 weeks or so to say that there has been a problem with the digests in that only the first message is visible even though the index at the top indicates that there are several.
This should now be fixed -- sort of -- but you may see a slightly different digest format. Please read on if you receive your Tango-A/L mail in digest form. Here are some details of the problem: 1. Not all Tango-A and Tango-L subscribers seem to have the problem. (Also, it seems to be affecting only lists hosted at the mitvma.mit.edu site, and it started only a few weeks ago.) 2. It only affects digests that appear in multipart MIME format, not in the regular or plaintext format. Actually the full digest IS there (you can see it with a View>Source or equivalent on your mail reader) but many different mail readers don't display it. 3. After some questioning, the list administrators, the mitvma administrators and even a discussion list full of other listserv administrators have been unable to identify the problem. In the meantime, since this only affects MIME digests, I have "solved" this problem for practical purposes by setting all subscribers' options to NOMIME. As a result, you may see a change in the format of the digest if you had MIME before, but it should make no practical difference. If anyone still sees digests being truncated on Tango-A or Tango-L from tomorrow onwards, please send e-mail to [email protected]. Shahrukh Merchant Tango-A/L co-administrator [email protected]
