I believe digest posts has always arrived in batches of attachments. There has been talk about the ability for US to attach files to our listmail posts, but I have no direct word from Rootsweb on that. It would be better I think to set back and check out anything that sounds like rumor. Many people on this list understands the part of the system we work with every day, but we don't know what other goodies we will have when the whole process begins to properly work. Meanwhile RW is working 24-7 to put out little brushfires with the new list format, as we all know. As list admins we will take care of each problem one by one until the whole system works together. Thanks all and have a great day.

>From my understanding of the technology, which is reasonably informed, the following is the situation under the new Mailman mailing list software 1) The digests can be produced in two methods, flat (plain text) digests, or multipart (MIME) digests. Each list will have a default type, and the subscribers can be switched between them. Note that RootsWeb has always done multipart digests though there are different types of multipart and this one will look different to the previous type. 2) AOL users see the multipart digests as attachments. This is an AOL view and how their software manages things. 3) RootsWeb's email will still be text only, there is an oft use term 'plain text' which has been carelessly ascribed and confuses matters. All RootsWeb's mailing lists are plain text, and will not contain binary attachments. [Note that I will not go into depth about semantics about attachments as it can be quite a discussion and sometimes a discussion comparing apples and oranges]. 3) I change subscribers to the multipart form from the flat digest, if anyone wishes to be changed to the flat digest form, then please contact me by the email address IRL-CORK-admin@rootsweb.com and I will change you over. Note that those who have spoken have been changed over. 4) If you wish to change the format of a digest for another list then please contact the respective list admin by modifying the generic address LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com 5) RootsWeb is looking at allowing users to have more direct control of their subscriptions and better blending this into the MyAccount https://myaccount.rootsweb.com/signin system, and the new software allows this to happen then the old software system. This all just takes little steps and our little bit here is patience.
