[gui-talk] speaking of Dave Andrews and posts (was blankmessagesfrom this list)

[Joel Deutsch]

LOL. You've put that very politely, so far as I'm concerned. I find slogging 
through the first set of headers and subject lines in posts like that a real 
annoyance. I keep trying to imagine why they arrive like that. I think, 
"Dave's posted in a normal way to this list many times, all by himself. Why 
did someone else have to forward this post for him as if he didn't have a 
subscription to this list or something? I usually have to force myself to 
keep arrowing down to see what sort of message it is. Sometimes, I confess, 
when I'm feeling really impatient or I have a bad headache or something, I 
just delete. No offense meant to Dave. But I give up trying to figure out 
what these things are. When I finally get to them, after all those headers 
and subject lines, they often seem like announcements or public relations 
statements, almost always about some event or product I'm not even concerned 
about, not actual messages from Dave.

I've wondered that myself. It just adds more syllables to my already clogged
stream of verbage from jaws... It would be nice if it were reduced a bit.
Happy listening.

could anyone explain why every time a list post appears that apparently
originates from Dave, it arrives as some sort of forward sent by someone
else? I'm not putting that too accurately, but I'd guess it's understood
what I'm referring to. Anybody know why this is? How come these posts so
often don't just appear as direct messages from Dave? I've never understood
that. Thanks.

There are sometimes incompatibilities between mail program settings and
what the list software expects. It has to do with the vagaries of the
way multipart/mixed messages are interpreted. Usually, if there's more
than one attachment, one of them is the text.

I've never quite gotten to the bottom of why this happens to some people
on some lists but some have been able to correct the problem and perhaps
David Andrews has a bit of a clue now.

Hi all --
Has anyone else been getting blank messages from this list? If someone
is
posting messages and isn't aware they are coming across blank, please
check
what is coming back when you post.  I looked at the message carefully
and
there was an attachment on it, which I thought might contain something,
but
it only had something that looked computer or list generated.
Just wondering if there is a list problem.
Cheers and happy thanksgiving.
