[ NNSquad ] Important NNSquad Mailing List Administrivia
Greetings all. Well, we seem to be off to a rousingly active start. There are a few important administrivia issues, however: First, there have been reports that some messages appear essentially blank in some mail readers. I've now duplicated this -- it appears to be (you can guess it, right?) a mime/attachment/charset related issue, and I'm looking into it as quickly as possible. Some messages being input are loaded down with all sorts of extraneous mime goodies that are apparently causing some problems. One related issue for people receiving the list via digests is that if you have set your options for text format, mime encoded segments and the like will not come through natively. I would recommend setting digest options to mime format -- I will set that default to mime for all new subscribers. In the meantime, while I track down the format issues, I've frozen the message output queue. Please hold off on new submissions until normal flow is restored. All prior messages should be fully viewable in the mailing list archive at: http://www.nnsquad.org/archives/nnsquad/maillist.html Speaking of flow, I realize that there is a lot of pent-up demand for discussion on these topics, but I don't want to have everyone inundated with overly large numbers of individual messages every day. I am reluctant to go to a digest-only distribution format, but that might become the only practical alternative. One way that we can help fend off that possibility would be if more of the back and forth discussions took place in the NNSquad Forum ( http://www.nnsquad.org/forum ). I realize that e-mail is easier for many people to use, but the forum is inherently threaded -- a big advantage for these kinds of discussions, and if you are registered you should even be able to reply to forum discussions via e-mail. Please give it a try if possible. Thanks again for your interest, participation, and patience while we dig out the mailer gremlins. Take care, all. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein lauren@vortex.com or lauren@pfir.org Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 http://www.pfir.org/lauren Co-Founder, PFIR - People For Internet Responsibility - http://www.pfir.org Founder, PRIVACY Forum - http://www.vortex.com Member, ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com _______________________________________________ NNSquad mailing list information: http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
