Hints for using these mailing lists
Contributed by Kevin Appert - 08/03/2006
Your message is important to us. Here are some hints at getting it
across. It's worth your effort.
Size - in order to block a class of unwanted messages from
outside, the size limit was set at 20K. There appears to be a lot of overhead
so an extended screed near that number might also bounce. Consider sending
larger items to the webmaster for posting on the web site.
Attachments - in order to make it less likely that outsiders
will pass malware along to us, attachments have been banned. It's the same deal
about sending it directly to the webmaster.
Email addresses in body text or subject line - email addresses in
the archive are harvested by spammers, so please replace the @ symbol with _at_
or something.
Straight ASCII preferred. No RTF, no colors, just text. Some
folks use bronze-age email clients to avoid an emailed trojan, some just don't
like blinking red text. Also, RTF files are much larger than plain text, so see
(1) above.
Bounce messages - It's nothing personal. If you get one, don't
let it offend or upset you. If your message is too large, cancel the post using
the link in the bounce message and split or shorten it *. If there's some
problem with permissions or persimmons, send your message to me and I'll post
it for you and CC George Perry at jv@zork.net.
He will straighten out the problem so it won't happen again.
* The alternative is to wait for the moderator to decide to allow the extra
length. It may be a long wait.
