New members, the approved posting to Parkinsn is TEXT only. The reasons are multi-fold, including the virus, size and length of postings. Our host, the University of Toronto, graciously allows us to use their listserv and we don't want to abuse our welcome. Next month marks the 9th anniversary of Parkinsn and we have maintained good relations with our host. If you have a press release or some lengthy posting please remove the formatting (fancy type) and paste it into an email leaving out the images or charts. If the document is long it may be sent back to you by the listserv to be broken apart into as many parts as necessary and then individually post the parts. If you receive a posting from the list and for some reason it includes an attachment, you can refrain from opening it. Since all list messages are posted to P-I-E-N-O as they are received you can look and see what the attachment was by looking at the maillist page at: http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html Looking at the email messages from Parkinsn there, in no way jeopardizes the security of your computer nor exposes it to any virus. Thank you all for participating and caring. You are all truly assets in the Parkinson's cause.
