Nix to: attachments and rich text

  • 1.  Nix to: attachments and rich text

    As the listmaster of mg-ed-dv I am aware that attachments wreak havoc on the
    digests. Also, I am wary about the possibility of viruses being included in
    attachments--some participants have inadequate anti-virus software.
    Therefore, I request that NO ATTACHMENTS BE POSTED TO THE LIST. Rather
    posting urls, putting the material succinctly in the text or offering to
    mail more information or documents to interested parties is preferred.
    Also, sending your messages in PLAIN TEXT rather than RICH TEXT or HTML is
    desirable:

    As your cyberfriend, I recommend that you all get something like Norton
    Antivirus 2000 software--be cutting-edge where it counts!

    As for the acrimonious exchange. Yikes! I think bringing off-list
    rancorous comments on-list is not helpful. I appreciate the helpful
    comments of always insightful Larry Pate of MED's Service Learning Committee
    in that "discussion". Also, I enjoyed Bevis' urbane comments. Bevis
    England certainly makes one want to visit New Zealand. Sometimes I wish I
    could decree that everyone get Outlook 2000 and be done with technological
    incompatibilities. Gadzooks!

    You are always invited to communicate any concerns about anything that
    upsets you related to mg-ed-dv and its discourse to me at
