Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Frustrated
Hi Jim, I had the same problem at first. The problem was on my end. My email settings are set to automatically send emails in HTML format. That's the way I like it for day to day emails. When posting to a newsgroup I always have to make sure that I double check that I am sending in Plain Text before posting. Sometimes I forget and the message doesn't get posted. It should be posted within a few seconds and when it doesn't I know I made the mistake. If any of yours ever got posted if they were in HTML format, it would only have been because Art made the correction and posted it on your behalf. The only other thing I can think of that would keep your messages from getting posted immediately is that it is stuck in Art's SPAM filter waiting to be authenticated as legitimate. In which case, either the posting itself or your email address may have been flagged. This can happen due to many reasons and each email server's SPAM filter settings are different. Once an email address is flagged, it is a manual process to allow that email address to be delivered normally. Maybe ask Art if your email address is flagged. I hope this helps.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Frustrated
Hi John; Abe is correct; 99% of the time a post is delayed it is due to the formatting of the email. HTML emails are held by the list software and I need to manually release the post after verifying it doesn't contain anything harmful (e.g. attachments, embedded scripts, etc.). I don't constantly monitor these held emails so it may take some time for me to review and release. Format your emails as plain text and they will probably appear almost instantly.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Frustrated
Hi John, As one who is subscribed to MANY lists and the co-moderator of two others I can say that such delays just happen from time to time. My posts have even been delayed on the lists I moderate. Never have been able to figure why. Happily I don't think I've ever had a post that did not go through eventually even if it took a day or two. patrick On 13 Dec 2010, at 19:10, John.L.Cabassi wrote: G'Day List I'm getting a little frustrated as you can see from my heading.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Frustrated
Hi John. I've sent a mail right now and it appears instantly, and I'm just a novice in the list (at least posting). Time delays are quite common between e-mail servers (the pop mail server of my job is off 30% of the times I try to use it... I'm now just changing to another server, ahem...)
