Plaintext

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

AEGers,

With the introduction of the latest version of OutlookExpress for
Windows,
Micro$oft in its infinite wisdom, has apparently set the default email
text
mode to a "mixed text" mode, meaning that when you send email you send a
mixture of plain text and hypertext (the text used to write web pages).
The
resulting messages as read on standard email clients are fairly messy and
difficult in many cases to read. Additionally, our list processor does
not
look fondly upon mixed text messages, and sometimes exagerates the mess.

In addition, the "mixed-text' messages are 9 times larger than the
"plain-text" equivalent.
This bogs down the archives with useless symbols unless someone edits
every message.
It also helps clog the network leading to the need for more capacity,
etc. Typical
Micro$oft.

Those of you who have been sending mixed text to Arisaema-L have been
hearing
about this from me along with my request to resend your messages in
"plain
text", and in all cases I can recall you have successfully done so. I
thank
you for this.

This then is a simple request from the list processor and those of us who
manage it: Please send "plain text" only messages to Arisaema-L.  The
list
processor will thank you for this as will all of us who are reading your
messages. If you have questions about this please email me.

I strongly recommend sending "plain-text" to everyone. It saves them the
trouble
of trying to decipher the message and saves 90% of the space needed to
save your message.

Thanks.
