Re: [tuning] Digest Number 1334

Is anyone else unable to even view, let alone read the posts by Robert
Greco in the Digest? I haven't been able to see a single one so far --
just a message saying "This message is not in a displayable format." I
use Netscape 4.75.

Robert is apparantly sending email to the list in HTML format, and if
you get the digest it either defaults to (or it is a selected option)
being delivered in plain ascii, and his posts will not appear. That
is my impression, and the only other explanation is HTML support
turned off in your email program (which is a *good* thing), though I
suspect the first explanation.

The only remedy is for Robert to set his email-sending to the list
to "plain text" format...

HTH,

Yeah... My mailer frequently dies when I try to look at HTML mail, so I
usually make sure I have saved everything before clicking-and-praying on
HTML messages. They usually then cause my mail reader to die (or hang up
and I have to kill it). I can read Robert Greco's messages so far, but I
sure wish he (and anyone else) didn't use HTML mail, and I'm assuming that
one of these days I'll get unlucky and one of R. G.'s messages will kill my
mailer...
