Hello John,
I believe, the program (pipermail) that is used on the OGD to
automatically send postings to all readers only sends posts that are
sent in plain text or the plain text portion of a post. In this example
("An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
URL://pipermail/orchids_orchidguide.com/attachments/20061001/65bcbf7b/attachment-0001.html
"), I believe that the scrubbed html attachment that is scrubbed most of
the time is something a anti-virus program attaches to outgoing e-mail
saying that the e-mail has been scanned, but it could be something else.
Also, postings that are sent in html format are scrubbed. Recently
someone has tried to post using a web based e-mail account, in this case
from a hotmail account. I believe that on these web based e-mail
accounts that since you compose your e-mails on the web in html format
that you have no choice but to send them in html. You can similarly run
into problems if your personal computer e-mail software (Outlook,
Thunderbird, or similar) is set to send your e-mail out only in html. If
you are having this problem, look under the options menu to change this
setting. By the OGD sending only posts that are received in plain text
you eliminate the chance of spreading viruses and ads.
As to why your posts bounce other then hitting reply, they shouldn't if
they are addressed to: orchids@orchidguide.com
They can bounce if the post is to long.
To better posting.
Mark
