I hope that I can help with some of the problems that I have seen will
monitoring the activity on the LactNet Digest.

Carlos Gonzalez sent an e-mail which included the winmail.dat binary file in
his email. This can be corrected if you type in the TO: address by hand in
which case Microsoft Exchange will remove the rich text which is causing the
problem. If the address is coming from the personal address book then make
sure the "Always send to this recipient in Microsoft rich text format" is
not checked.

The second problem is one I have had and that is one of getting and equal
sign at the end of each line. Under the Tools-services-(which ever mail your
using MS Mail or Internet Mail) change the message format to not use MIME
when sending to non-exchange users. If you have Internet Mail installed then
you can leave this option of all of the time since almost everyone will not
be using Microsoft Exchange. Certainly not the LactNet ListServer.

As for the email from Ray Leivo concerning not getting attachments with
Eudora Pro, this should not have change, there are other nice features which
you gained including MAPI compatability. I don't if "DA))43PO]RCP*0%'
attachments" was actual data or the same as blankity blankity attachments.
In either case the problem is incompatability between e-mail systems. I
would suggest that you e-mail me directly but others may want to know the
answers too.

Just a reminder from LactNet, they do not want you to enclose the text of
the digest for which you are replying. If you have this text set on because
you normally want this to happen, then highlight the text in the body of the
response and hit the delete key to remove it. Your email software usual has
an option to remove this if you do not want to do it normally.

Most of these answers can from "MIcrosoft Exchange FAQ" on the internet.

I am not an expert at this but have learned a great deal in enhancing the
digest reader I have written. Although I find the digest very interesting, I
normally just lurk. I am simply checking to see if every digest is
compatable with my software.

I hope these notes help some of you who may be having email problems.
