Plain text is the preferred format for this list. Plain text cannot change the font appearance within the e-mail, and that is a disadvantage, but there are reasons why plain text should be preferred when coloring text is not necessary. The e-mails take less space because they lack the formatting codes. While our list resources can easily handle large e-mails, some users have limited resources and complain when TruthTalk list volume causes a depletion of their resources. Using plain text is helpful in that regard. Another reason for plain text is that some users receive a digest version of TruthTalk. They get one e-mail with all the posts for the last 24 hours. This digest version combines e-mails and because of formatting issues, it really only handles plain text. HTML e-mails or Rich Text emails come over with all the formatting codes being shown. The readers have to wade through that to read the post. Therefore, plain text is better for those who receive the digest version of TruthTalk. As an example, here is a very small clip from the digest version yesterday from a section that contained an html e-mail. ----------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0060bf>JUDY:All well and good if you are walking in it and have overcome the<BR>world, the flesh, and the demonic but if you sin daily or are bound<BR>by any particular besetting sin then you also are a work in progress<BR>which means you are not totally delivered either.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>KD:So who will do this deliverance, yourself?</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0060bf>Judy: The truth making you free is present-progressive Kevin, it is not <BR>an instant 'done-deal' We must walk in it.

Judy: It is the teaching of scripture - all that makes sense. You were not perfected, holy, and conformed to the image of Christ the moment you said your prayer were you? No you were a baby believer who was to grow in God's Word and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Kevin: PS 105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: [18] Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: [19] Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. [20] The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. [21] He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: [22] To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. Judy: Yes the above describes the ministry of Joseph, what do these verses have to do with the salvation of Kevin Deegan? ----------------------------------------- As for your e-mail getting delayed in posting to the list, it was probably something with hotmail putting it in a que. The way e-mail is relayed is by hotmail's mail server connecting to our e-mail server. If it cannot get a connection for some reason, it may put the mail in a que to try later. How frequently it tries again depends on how their e-mail server is setup. It might try again in 30 minutes or it might try again in 4 hours. If it fails a second attempt, the process of queing and retrying repeats. At some point there will be a timeout where it sends the mail back to you as undeliverable. Normally that timeout is around 5 days. Sometimes the mail server is setup to send you a notice that your post is delayed and that the mail server will keep trying. Some mail servers are not setup to give you that kind of warning notice. Peace be with you.
