[PyrNet-L] Stop that MIME!
People,
Many of you have your e-mails sent to the list using MIME-encoding -
either on its own, or *as well as* normal text. You may not realise
this, or it may look fine on your mail reader (when you get the Pyr-Net
list), but to many of us, it turns your e-mail into unintelligible
spaghetti !
If you don't know what (or where) this setting is found on your PC, I
can at least point out its location to Netscape 4.5 users:
1: Use the menu option "Edit | Preferences"
2: Then the choices "Mail & Groups | Messages"
3: Then hit the "More Options" button.
4a: Make sure the choice for MIME messages is OFF.
b: Make sure the message is sent as Plain Text (NOT HTML - sending as
HTML has few benefits on an e-mail list, except for including your
website's address - and most of us can easily copy and paste that into
our browsers' search bars anyway, right?)
This will ensure that everyone's posts look like [the first bit below]
and not [the rest of it]:
[PS: Sorry Jan - you were just a handy example!]. This will result in
shorter posts - and less time to download messages!!
Bye all!!

I'd better write all the "names" down Martha, yes like that one too.
You've given me an idea Joe which is when my new scanner arrives next =
week is to scan all the very old photos here of the early Pyrs(imports =
and NZ Bred) send to our webmaster who is just going to love me for this
=
and have an Archive page(s) on the PMDC site below. Will give people an
=
idea of what went before in picture form as well as being on the =
pedigrees. Our photo gallery currently running shows pedigree and pet =
names and the majority of Pyrs in natural poses which is want we had =
intended.
Would be an impossible task had there ever been huge numbers of Pyrs =
here in NZ but I think we can accomplish this little exercise!!
Best wishes
