There is no plan at the moment to move out of the standard text only format. I spoke with Tom C. and his desire is to keep the list text only. I don't have any intention to stray from this. I really don't think this is an issue. Having the attachments stripped and re-linked is also an option and this idea can also be evaluated in the future.
One thing we should all realize is that there are several forums out there for discussing LabVIEW. Each one of these has their own "followers". There are people who only read info-lv and others that only read the comp.lang.labview newsgroup. Then again there are participants in the forums.lavausergroup.org. The point is that each has a "character" and a unique set of people that surround it. We should try and avoid changing the makeup of info-labview if at all possible and keep the "character" consistent. When people subscribe to info-lv they know what they are getting. If anyone requires the shuffling around of attachments and HTML then info-lv is not for you. There are other resources for this purpose. -- Thank You Michael Aivaliotis Quoting Brian Bean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Would it be possible to have the list continue in its all text format > but also mirror all emails to a Web forum. > > This way someone could attach and example vi and it would be > automatically stripped out of the email version but remain on the > mirrored web forum.
