This is not a spam message.<br><br> <br><br>Almost six weeks ago, our software provider, cPanel, updated the software, called Mailman, that runs all our lists. Unfortunately, there were some bugs in the update, which they have not yet fixed. They are aware of them, and say they are working on them. They indicate that fixes for most of the problems are or will be available soon, but we do not know when that will be. We have expected a corrected update for a couple weeks so far, but is has not yet come out. I can’t say when this will happen, but I am sure it will.<br><br> <br><br>The bugs manifest themselves in several ways. Some messages contain random characters, especially the equals sign, =, or others. Some messages come out, completely unreadable, this is actually Mime-encoded Base64, and can be unencoded with some effort, but is unreadable to a human. If you go to <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nfbnet.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cdavid.b.andrews%40state.mn.us%7Cbaf17761ba6e4c5b2d8308dd8a8730cc%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C638819035417964335%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wWsZSQmeVa4JKLnOB4OoND%2FufLCQTBPa8CW4%2BGDsI1g%3D&reserved=0">http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/</a> and try to subscribe to a list from there you will get a error. There may be problems with some digests, and moderators may or may not be able to approve held messages.<br><br> <br><br>There are workarounds for some of these, and not for others. For the extraneous characters, and the Mine encoding jibberish, you can send your message as an attachment, use a different mail program, or switch from text to html, or vice versa from html to text. One of these fixes may, or may not work.<br><br> <br><br>For subscribing, you can still subscribe via e-mail, or you can write me at <a href="mailto:david.andrews@nfbnet.org">david.andrews@nfbnet.org</a> and I will do it for you. To subscribe to a list via e-mail, send a message to:<br><br> <br><br>List <a href="mailto:Name-subscribe@nfbnet.org">Name-subscribe@nfbnet.org</a> <br><br> <br><br>For example, if you wanted to subscribe to the student list you would send a message to <a href="mailto:nabs-l-subscribe@nfbnet.org">nabs-l-subscribe@nfbnet.org</a><br><br> <br><br>The list name is nabs-l.
