[DML] ADMIN NOTE: Attachments/HTML/Bouncing

["Dave Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

Please DO NOT attach HTML or image files to your postings. Although this
works (sometimes), it really screws up the archives (looks like pages of
gibberish) , and anyone reading the mail on a text-based mail reader (such
as Eudora) gets a similar bunch of garbage. It also causes very large email
files to be broadcast (hundeds of kbytes instead of 1kbyte), which causes
many peoples' email servers to fill up and begin bouncing their mail.

Please just put in a web link to wherever this stuff comes from.

Moderators will be looking closer for this and will begin rejecting these
messages.

This seems to be a particular problem with Hotmail, at the moment there are
about 50 people with Hotmail accounts that are "bouncing" email back to the
list. When this happens egroups just stops sending them messages. If you
evern notice the list stops coing for more than a day, send a note to
mailto:moderator@xxxxx We can manually reset you.
