Something funny is going on with the mailing list software,
and I've asked the system administrator to look into it.  If
you send a message that gets rejected, try again in a day or
two.

It might help if everyone would please turn off their MIME or "rich text"
abilities in favor of ""plain text" for Urth messages--you, Ratty, are a
sinner here--as are, more forgivably, the newbies. All that formatting takes
up a lot of space.

I'm using Eudora. If someone knows how to turn this off, and can give me 
directions, I'll be happy to do so. I cannot figure it out from what Eudora 
provides. I'm computer and internet illiterate.

For Eudora 5.1.  In the menu bar go to tools...

Select the Options...  (on a PC) or Settings... (on a Mac) item.

In the panel that comes up on the left hand side select "Styled Text"

Of the options then presented select "Send plain text only".
