Normally a simple REPLY will send your intended private email to the list, not the original sender. When Steve and I see this happening we will forward the message to the intended and Cc the sender, but this creates lots of extra work for us. So, for those of you replying to Mike about his konjac tubers.... Thanks. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b

From: Don Burns donburns at macconnect.com> on 2000.04.29 at 01:28:51(4471) Aroiders, With the introduction of the latest version of OutlookExpress for Windows, Microsoft in its infinite wisdom, has apparently set the default email text mode to a "mixed text" mode, meaning that when you send email you send a mixture of plain text and hypertext (the text used to write web pages). The resulting messages as read on standard email clients are fairly messy and difficult in many cases to read. Additionally, our list processor does not look fondly upon mixed text messages, and sometimes exagerates the mess. Those of you who have been sending mixed text to Aroid-L have been hearing about this from me along with my request to resend your messages in "plain text", and in all cases I can recall you have successfully done so. I thank you for this. This then is a simple request from the list processor and those of us who manage it: *Please send "plain text" only messages to Aroid-L.* The list processor will thank you for this as will all of us who are reading your messages. If you have questions about this please email me. Thanks. Don +More Don Burns Fort Lauderdale FL USA Zone 10b

I acknowledged to him that Steve and I frequently see messages bounced by ISPs (about once per month from AOL) for a number of reasons. If you suspect that you have missed Aroid-L mail, point your web browser to , look for the link to the mail list archives and select Aroid-L. If you missed anything you'll see it there. Those of you who are new to the list may not have known we have archives. If you want to find out what was being discussed on Aroid-L as far back as December 1996, go to the archives to find out. There is even a search tool there to look for discussion on particular subjects. I have personally found the search tool to be quite valuable. Don +More Don Burns Fort Lauderdale FL USA Zone 10b
