medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks to John McChesney-Young for his competent explanation
of the MIME mishandling by the Listserver when sending digests.
And sorry for sending this to the list, and not just to Francis.
With the increasing number of 'Ooops' mails, do I hope that
at least some people will make an effort to understand the
function, and check the address of the recipient before they
send their mail (and, please, also remove some useless parts of
the automated reply-stuff that we receive in abundance: Please
scroll down to see what you are sending before you press the
button, thanks! From the quotations below is it obvious that not
only one but too many mails were send to the list, although they
were intended for private communication).
All Best

Dear Francis GAYTE,
You did in fact get something wrong. Terribly wrong! Not only did
you send your message to the entire list, you did also include two
completely irrelevant pictures of 24K each:
Attachment converted: HD: blueMarias.jpg (JPEG/JVWR)
Attachment converted: HD: marjoan04.JPEG (JPEG/JVWR)
As clearly pointed out by John McChesney-Young (who is a user
of Eudora Pro for Macintosh) are attachments to the list not
welcome! He also explains the problem with attachments to messages
processed by LSoftListserv software, and sent as part of digests.
Only the digests did garble the pictures. All other listmembers
got them as clean jpegs.
You did NOT use Eudora when sending the first mail with the attachments.
Your mail was send using Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.:
(I also use Eudora, and quote your full header below ;-)
*Eudora is far superior to Outlook-Express*, and makes it (as
example) very easy to see all the desired information about
the sender, something one appreciates these days with the
amount of incoming spam.
