Finally, a definitive answer to the "danged" attachments that come in with email, when the sender is using a Microsoft application for email: ___________________________________________________ "Those of you who use some Microsoft application for mail can get rid of that strange stuff at the end of your messages by making sure that you have your mailer set to "TEXT" or "US ascii", not "RTF", not "HTML." "Those last two are what add the weird attachments or the coded gobbledegook, and/or duplicates at the end of your messages. Even just turning off "quoted printable" might help in some cases." "RTF and/or HTML are the default settings and need to be turned off every time you open the program when you write to a list." (Thanks to Terri Strotman.) ____________________________________________________ NOTE THE LAST PARAGRAPH !!!!! If you don't turn off RTF and/or HTML when you send email to a List, an attachment is sent with your email. It will be either in the form of RTF, or as an HTML, which is merely a duplication of what you sent in the body of the email, and adds to the clogging up of the phone lines, takes time to download, and puts junk files in your "attachment" directory. So, lets cut down on the clogging up of the bandwidth of the phone lines and stop the "attachments". Regards, George George W. Durman mailto:sgtgeorg@concentric.net 925 Kevin Rd.
