Re: [Amc-list] Sorry about the HTML

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Besides what Frank said about the AMCyclopedia, if you have made any 
posts after May 19, 2007, an account was created for you using the 
display name your email client sends out.

If your first post was in the past few weeks, just click the "forgot 
password" link and the site will send you instructions on how to reset 
your password and you'll be able to log in.

If your first post was before that or it doesn't let you reset your 
password, just send me an email and I'll fix your account so it's usable.

Also, we are still looking for people to fill in the car information 
pages. Most of the information can come from TSM's and you don't even 
have to do entire pages. I recently added a page editor that makes 
updating them pretty much like using a word processor. If you are 
interested in doing this, let me and Frank know and we'll get your 
account set up to do this.

You have to sign up to the list to post, then set your properties to "no mail". You don't get anything "rammed down your throat" -- read what you want. Of course if you get the digest in e-mail, there's a contents header -- just read the messages that interest you.

I do understand that there are good reasons for HTML in some messages, such as attaching pics, but I would venture to say that 75% or more e-mails have no benefit from it, other than picturing a smiley face rather than a keyboard portrayal. Just clogs band width!

Personally, I think you guys are really holding yourselves back from your full potential as a knowledge and experience resource by restricting yourselves to a text list.  The list makes everyone receive everything, the Forum format allows you to *choose* that will be rammed down your throat, lol.
