I am copying this post so you will understand if your messages start being rejected. You may not send attachments to list messages -and- you will need to turn off the HTML generator in your mailer. Only PLAIN text messages will be accepted on the RootsWeb lists for now....... >Date: Tue, 23 Jun 1998 08:59:54 -0700 >From: Tim Pierce <twp@rootsweb.com> >Subject: Blocking Attachments and HTML > >Hi, folks -- > >Well, it took almost two months longer than expected, but we're >right now installing a SmartList hack that blocks file attachments >(including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings. >Sorry about the delay: things have been crazy around here. > >This note is to let you know how it works.
