Hi gang, I just want to tell any new folks and remind others that there is a strict size limit on messages that will be accepted by the mailing list software. This is part of what protects us from transmission of mal- ware, among other measures.
The limit is only 18k. Now, by today's standards of bloated e-mail formats, that's miniscule, but if you set your mailer to send simply PLAIN TEXT, you can send messages that are several pages long quite easily. It does, however, severely restrict the sending of graphics and other attachments. So if you have fancy formatting turned on and a lovely background stationery selected, you're likely to not be able to get a message through to the list without changing a setting or two. The symptoms of this problem? You should see your own post reflected to you by the list server as it is sent out to all the members, usually within a few minutes at most. If you are consistently *NOT* seeing your messages posted to the group, nor getting any responses from other members, then it's a good clue. Nearly every mail client program or web mail service gives you an option to send plain text. You'll have to search the menus, Options, or Preferences to find it. Another place they sometimes hide it is right in the controls for the e-mail composer or editor window. If you have this problem and need further assistance, you can contact me directly at the e-mail address that's in the footer of every message sent by the list. There is no size limit on what you can send me directly, so I will receive it, and be able to answer you within a day or two depending on the level of insanity I'm dealing with it my life at the moment. <grin> Peace, Mike Devour silver-list owner [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] [mdev...@eskimo.com ] [Speaking only for myself... ] -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
