The same applies to those sending e-mail in the windows-1252
character set (and any other character set that you might be using) that
is also non standard and not all programs can display it properly.

Mersenne: OFF TOPIC: Ettiquette

1999-03-31 Thread poke


Please excuse the intrusion...

Just a quick note about posting ettiquette. If you use MS Outlook or some
other e-mail program, please ensure that you are posting in plain vanilla
ASCII and not HTML. Not everyone uses an e-mail client that displays
e-mail in HTML. For me, it comes up as an attachment and it has to be
opened up in the appropriate viewer. This is fine, however it gets
cumbersome when it has to be done more and more often. Not everyone uses
Microsoft platforms.

Thank you
