Hi folks -- I get the impression that several of you are using a
microsoft web browser to send mail, and it is configured to use its
typically nonstandard microsoft default.  This is a bit of a problem
butt for me, as your mail appears in my mail browser as:

  [Part 1, Application/MS-TNEF  1.8KB]
  [Cannot display this part. Press "V" then "S" to save in a file]

This means that you are sending the list MIME-format mail (no big deal)
but using a non-standard type, Applicatons/MS-TNEF.  Mail is usually
MIME-packaged as Text/Plain.  Since I read my mail on a UNIX box,
microsoft is strictly a foreign language, and my mail browser
is thoroughly confused.

If you go into the configuration section of your browser you
can tell it to stop this silliness, and I'd sure appreciate
it if you do, as I'd prefer to read your mail.  As I've never
messed with the microsoft browser I can't help you reconfigure
it, but I know several folks on this list have managed to do it.

Thanks,

        Gary
