2002-02-07 Somehow your software (or someone else's) is breaking the attachments out into separate elements. Outlook Express does not do that. When I received back USMA 17963, which was a forwarding of the webpage on Puerto Rico, there were no attachments.
However, when I received USMA 17964, there were attachments. It is possible that Brian's software broke the webpage up into the attachments. Brian, if you are reading this, can you tell us what e-mail program you are using? You may need to upgrade too! But, anyway, whether there are no attachments or 500 000 000 attachments, they don't have to be deleted separately. When I delete the posting, the attachments are all deleted as part of the posting in one swoop. Doesn't your software do this? If it doesn't, it is time to get rid of it. Now, I remember from a few years ago you were using some earlier version of Eudora. Eudora is now available in version 5.1, for both PC and Mac. Try downloading it and installing it and see if it is easier to work with. http://www.eudora.com/products/eudora/updater1.html Or, go to http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us and sign-up for a free yahoo account. Un-subscribe from the listserver and resubscribe using the new Yahoo account. Try it for a month, and if it doesn't solve your problems, then you can go back to using FFU, I mean FFS (Fred Flintstone Software). It's free, so there is no loss to try it. John P.S. No wonder we are having such a hard time getting people to use SI instead of FFU. If some of us are backwards thinking in our use of outdated software and resist upgrading, how can we proponents of SI expect the general population to give up what they feel comfortable with, just because we say it is better? It is the same logic. We won't give up on using old software because we are comfortable with it, and they won't give up FFU for the same reason.
