The old version added a footer as well. I’m not sure why this version would come through as an attachment on your email client but it really doesn’t matter. I’ve turned off the footer. Once a month we’ll all still get an email reminder about the list options and how to manage them.

They don’t show up as attachments with gmail, at least not on my system.On Sun, Jan 3, 2010 at 9:13 AM, Silver Heels < ([email][/email])> wrote:
Pat,
Ever since your forum systems change last week, every group email carries a .txt attachment that says:
maillist mailing list
()
https://pearson424.org/mailman/listinfo/maillist_pearson424.orgIt’s innocuous enough itself, but it has the effect of disguising emails that carry their own attachment, such
as a photo illustrating the point being discussed. If the writer fails to say, “see attached photo,” we’re
likely to miss it because we’re now becoming used to every email having an attachment that’s of no interest to
us, so we don’t bother opening the email to see it. Is it possible for this new system to stop attaching that
repetitive .txt file to all the group emails?Tor

Pat,
I use MS Outlook to download email. As of Monday morning, most (but not all)
forum emails are still arriving with a .txt attachment, but since your email
message below the attachments are now all blank, i.e., there is no text in
them as there was before. Same problem with knowing when a “real” attachment
is included with the message, though.Anyway, if I’m the only one getting them and they’re an unavoidable part of
the program, then it’s just karma. I appreciate that you looked into it.Break-Break
If anyone attaches anything to an email to this group, like a photo or
whatever, please consider writing “see attached photo” somewhere in your
email.Thanks,
Tor

Tor,
I’m sure you don’t really want to change how you handle email, but I
recommend getting away from Outlook as your email client. Most cruisers I
know use gmail or yahoo. For one thing gmail doesn’t convert the signature
line into an attachment, it displays it as an URL, which you can ignore.
Click on the link below to see what your email looks like in gmail.
http://screencast.com/t/ODk0OGQ5ZWMThe nice thing about this web-based email client is that you don’t need to
download anything to check your inbox. If the attachments don’t interest
you don’t need to waste bandwidth on them. You can still use outlook as
repository on your hard drive for emails you want to be able to access when
offline. It does require getting a gmail address, but you can continue to
use your current email address as your public address. Gmail can be set up
to access your existing email account. And, of course, it is free. If you
are interested I can send you an invite to gmail. I removed Outlook from my
computers years ago. If you depend on low-bandwidth Internet access
(dial-up or WIFI) then Outlook can be a real killer (it may be different
today, I haven’t used Outlook for over 5 years).On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 10:21 AM, Silver Heels wrote:

Hey Tor, I worked on the Email server at Microsoft for years and might be
able to help figure this out. Do this:1) Create a new message in outlook
2) Drag and Drop one of your messages with the .txt attachment into the new
message. Now you have the sample message as an attachment in your new
message.
3) Send that message to my other email account (I have my
own exchange server and use Outlook with that)I’ll take a look at the message and attachment and see if I can figure it
out.-p

No matter, I still recommend putting Outlook some place where the Sun don't shine.
