Hi Lew and Others, Anne has explained why you don't see messages posted to this list when you use Gmail, and Colin has described a way to get copies of the posts into your inbox by using the BCC (blind carbon copy) field. However, I'll just point out that another way to check that your posts have shown up on this list is to check the Mail Archive secondary web pages for this list at: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/ Posts sent to the mac-access list show up there fairly promptly (I'd say within half an hour under most conditions). This resource works even better as a way of searching the archives, and quickly reading up and down the old threads to understand the context of the discussions. I use it for recent archive searches in preference to the main archive URL that is also given in the links at the end of each list posting, simply because the search options are so good. That's probably worth a separate later post directly on the subject of how to get the most out of the archives, but I'll just mention that apart from typing search terms into the text box, which can include wild cards, you can also include arguments to search by author or even date range.
So, as a quick example, if I want to search for all posts by "Mr. L. Alexander" at the Mail Archive pages for this list, I could type: from: Alexander into the text box and press return. The indexing for this type of search is done one or twice a day, so it won't yet include the many posts from this morning, but you'll get links to all of your earlier posts from yesterday asking about Outspoken, along with a brief excerpt from your posts. The name that I type after the "from:" argument should match the contents of the "From" field in the eMail, and can either be part of the field, or the whole field, including blank characters, as long as I include the name in quotation marks to accommodate the blank characters. Case doesn't matter, and I can leave spaces after the "from:" as long as there is a colon immediately after the word "from" and the name. In the case of Colin's posts, since he posts his messages as coming from "Red.Falcon", I'd probably use a search like: from: Red* to find his posts. (That's because sometimes his posts have extra spaces around the period separating "Red" and "Falcon"). HTH. Sorry I couldn't answer the question about where to find OutSPOKEN CDs. As far as I know, your best bet is to try to get a copy from one of the musicians who hoarded these to use on the G4 PowerPC Macs that could run both OS 9 and Mac OS X over that long period of time before Pro Tools became accessible. You probably already knew that. I don't think that even Lou Grosso of the old Alva Access Group knows where they can be found now.
