(Martin Koxxy) ________________________________ Message 0 _____________________________________ Time: 12:23:18 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Kolb-List: Contributions Down By 20%... Dear Listers, As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind last year at this time by roughly 20%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to keep the expenses paid. I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of hours. All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services. If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 Thank you for your support!

I finally subscribed to both just to make sure my postings were getting through. maybe there is a problem with my isp. boyd young btw,,, did some experimenting,,, if you go to tools, option, then read, you can check the box by 'read all messages in plain text' and that will get rid of the too long lines,,,, it seems that when a message is sent html,, the body of the text goes out twice in the same message, there is a plain text version imbedded in the html version.... that way the person receiving the message can choose how he will see it. I haven't checked them all,,, but it seems that messages that are sent to the active list, are sent from matronics as html... and the digest is sent plane text. depending on how you receive the list, may be part of the reason some have lines that are too long, and why some are ok. do not archive ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:45:54 PM PST US From: "b young" Subject: Kolb-List: testing just a test,,,, seemed I sent a plain text message to the digest list and it came back on the active list in plain text,,, this one is being sent to the active list, in html. and I will see if it comes back, and what format it is in when it does boyd young do not archive. ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 12:48:12 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: ruffle a few feathers From: Richard Girard Dennis, I know that John Hauck posted a comment to you recently requesting that you stop posting non Kolb items here. That you openly make the subject "may ruffle a few feathers" gives the impression that you know you are misusing the list and just don't care. Let me add my concurrence with John's request. *This is not a chat room.* I t is a forum for the very specific purpose of sharing information about building, flying, and maintaining Kolb aircraft. While the occasional off topic post is tolerated, you seem to have nothing to offer about Kolb aircraft. Perhaps you should find another forum with a broader interest. So how about it. Keep your posts here on topic and take all the rest somewhere else.

I am using vista, so your mileage may vary. here may be the fix, or info that may help. after opening the mail program, I hit "tools" then "options" at the top of the screen there are tabs, look for the "read" and "send" tabs. in the "read" tab, if you check the box " (X) read all messages in plain text" that may help, but you will loose the rich formatting of the text as supplied by the author. i.e. different fonts, color, sizes, etc. in the "send" tab: you can set the "mail sending format" to "plain text or html" if you select plain text all messages will be sent plain text unless you have the box checked " (X)reply to messages in the format they were sent" in which case if you receive a html message and hit reply, it will reply in html. even if you have selected plane text for the sending format, it overrides. if you just create mail, it will go in plain text. if anytime you want to over ride the default while composing an email, go to the menu bar and press "format" and choose which format you want, plain text or html. it seems that matronics will forward the post in plain text or html, depending on which format the message was received in. even the digest mode which comes in plain text,,, has a link to a html version. I hope this helps. if not sorry. Boyd young do not archive. ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 03:59:05 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Kolbra near Portland, OR?
