Pasted below is a notice from another List to which I belong about the problem of "attachments", incouding a comment about "Microsoft e-mail software". This refers to Internet Explorer, versions 3 and 4, and also to Outlook Express: ------------------------------------------------------- It's not a good thing to attach *any* files to your postings, as most of the membership is on Digest and your attachment will look like gibberish. If you're using Microsoft email software, please note that it AUTOMATICALLY will create attachments of your "quoted" or "responding-to" material and tack it on the end of your email. So please spare us all the attachments. ----------------------------------------------------------- So please, those of you who are using this software, go into your "Options" or "preferences" sections (I don't know what it is called since I don't use that software), and disable those features when writing to Lists.
