Re: [AMC-list] List

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

We made some changes to the settings, so they should be coming through okay now.
If so, don't worry much about changing settings in your mail as I suggest below. We did have the list set to send as attachments, which converts to MIME, and messed everyone up. That was an oversight on our part, the software defaults to MIME and we didn't notice at first. 

Your posts all have a question mark in key places. probably carriage returns and some punctuation. The list is set up to only take plain text, so you're probably sending in HTML or MIME and the list software is converting what it can. Codes it doesn't understand it replaces with a question mark. It's not too hard to read on this end, but if all the digests you get have question marks all over them, I can see where it would be! Try changing your mail settings to "plain text". You can't use colors or fancy formatting (bold, italics, etc.), but everything is much more compact and will read correctly from the list. Most mail programs can be set to display plain text without conversions.

I don't know about you guys, but I have?just been?deleting all of the list digests I get.? Everything just runs together and it is too hard?to separate?or make heads or tales of the various posts.? Probably why there is only one digest every 2-3 days.

Frank, any idea?on?when you might get this fixed???If you respond to the list, please copy?my e-mail address?so I can see it.
