Folks,

Some of the mail is going through the maillist with corrupted mail
headers or duplicate MIME headers...

If possible, please mail "text only" to the maillist rather than html
pages as attachments.


Also, please trim quotes when replying to posts and post your text
underneath (bottom post).

My view is that top posting is fine for buisnesses that wish to have an
audit trail to cover their...


Anyone using the mail digests? Are they coming through ok?

Cheers,
Martin

    Q: Can I top post?

subsequent email...
